Post by: Ian Price on July 15, 2009, 11:33:33 PM
I'm not sure if I like this or not. It seems to be confused about what it wants to be:

An abomination. an absolute abomination.

After careful consideration I agree. WTF are those tuners about.

i'm not sure about the headstock shape (i.e. it's horrible), but other than that, I think i like it. :)

They're Grover Imperials, for that authentic jazz guitar look.  :wink:

Oh God, that headstock is so, so bad.

They've tried to combine a D'Angelico (or something) with a PRS Singlecut and it's...... WRONG! 

It's like Stephen Fry got together with Megan Fox (bear with me...) and the baby ended up with his looks and her brains.  :|

I've seen one in  black (and another one White ) with a Bigsby,and it was beautiful  :)!On this pic,you don't really see the headstock properly...Originally,it was just a Private Stock made for only one good client.

I don't think I'd get one but it doesn't look too bad to me.

I really like it, very Art Deco. That white one looks beautiful to me!

Nah, still don't like it!

They've scaled up the Singlecut body without noticeably changing the proportions at all - it just looks weird to me.  And the thing is enormous!

I quite like the one in the middle with a white headstock.

There is something not quite 'balanced' about the design. Bet is sounds great though  :D

I quite like it except for the nasty bird inlays.

I hate bird inlays...
