you wouldn't want to stick those tuners in your leg (for pain and tuning reasons), however - its cool in a certain way :)

But as a 12 string it has issues. You want a pretty decent natural sound for a 12, something with plenty of wood to resonate. Personally I'd want a neck pickup as well so you could use the middle position.
 As has already been hinted at IMPOSSIBLE to play sat down.

It's a similar idea to the old BC Rich Bich 10-string, but those string angles look ridiculously awkward, at both bridge and nut.  I can't figure out how the strings are even managing to sit on the bridge without popping out of their saddles.

OK, I love Jackson guitars, but the only thing I think to this is "WHY?"

Who's going to want to play it?  I just can't see the point of a 12 string electric unless it's the top half of a double neck...

The Bich is a well thought out, well executed instrument, that thing is just an "I wonder if we coul..." project.

I like the natural finish of it.

I wouldn't want one though.

I have to say the Bich is one of the most attractive guitars that happen to be horrendously ugly.

Plus the sheer number of knobs and dials on that thing makes me scared!

I'm a one-dial-pony. That could have come out a whole lot worse than it did :)
