I do like the idea of being able to change pickups so easily though!

Post by: ToneMonkey on September 28, 2009, 07:44:22 PM: The necks seem really thick where they join the body. Could just be my monitor though.

They're nice.

Post by: WezV on September 28, 2009, 07:46:49 PM: i think that is just down to having 24 frets clear of the body - not something you see often

Post by: FernandoDuarte on September 28, 2009, 08:07:36 PM: I like this design so much, I just want the horns a little smaller... and not sure about the wooded version, the plexi had its appeal/history :)

Yes, it's cool... But I'm not decided yet... Feels to me like Zemaitis using Koa on a guitar top, it's known about the pearl and metal tops...

I have so much GAS for single pickup, fixed bridge guitars at the moment.

Those Mahogany Dan Armstrong's look reeeeeeally nice. Any idea of RRP?
