Hmmm... I really like this.

What do you guys think?

Umm...

Not really for me, I'm afraid.

However, from that pic, looks almost like you could squeeze it and change the shape depending on your mood!  :D

Now that would be clever!

I really like it. Looks gorgeous.

However, the paint job on this is amazing

I meant bad nasty. They look rather gaudy.

Ha!
I'm glad it's not just me that gets confused by the misuse of language to the extent that you cant tell what people mean

I need to see that in the flesh.  Think I like it, but can't be sure.

Certainly different.

Is it age?  I guess that as a 37 year old I've got no right to be "down with the kids"...

... actually, I've just clocked a closeup of one of the headstocks....

... kinda going off them...

Apparently Steve Stevens uses them.

Funnily enough... not having liked the guitar pics so far...

I find that headstock rather pleasant - am I sickening for something? :roll:

I think they look fantastic!

That said I think the pics look a bit touched-up, too.

Besides it looks like very well done, I would not buy one... my stomach didn't like it  8)

that's quite nice, actually. bit like a dean soltero (but cooler). :)

I really like that first one, the second one is a bit too in your face for me, although those flames would look good on a hotrod.

They look like they are using PRS bridges for the wrap around models.

the singlecut ones start around 2850 euros so I think I would get a PRS or Feline before I got one of those.

I hate the headstock design.  There's an unfortunate suggestion of "marital aid" about it. :?

Other than that, I like the designs.  They're a bit over-fussy, but not totally OTT.  And I really like the blue flames finish - I'd never buy a guitar like that, but it looks terrific.

I see that too.

I think they look superb - If I was to get a custom, I'd go for something like that - All those little ornaments really give me GAS.

OK, I was trying not to be too blunt, but something about it reminds me of the way people do cartoon drawings of c--ks... I think it's that weird "channel" up the middle.  :?

I'll get me coat.

Not so fast, I thought the same thing when I saw it.  Freud might like to have a word with us.  Or the builder for that matter. :?

Let's both get our coats.  And we'll collect the bloke from Forge Guitars on our way to the pub.  With Sigmund.

Consequently this is the only one with an acceptable headstock...  *sigh*

Yeah, I had to struggle to see what they saw!! :lol:

I'm a little concerned if they're right though - I do rather like that headstock  :? (kind of art nouveau, Renee Mackintosh), but I don't like the guitars themselves!

the headstock just looks nothing like a penis or even a drawing of a penis.
Freud would have a field day with you lot

I think you mean a normal penis, as I wouldn't feel happy commenting about other peoples neither regions.

Those guitars are a strange combination of some really nice bits mixed with parts that should simply not have been added on grounds of taste. Almost as if somebody said theyre too nice.

As for marital aids, as Al Murray said "I know what women want, the heating turned up"
