Seen pics of that guitar a few times before, it's really not my cup of tea  :lol:

I'd imagine it would be quite uncomfortable to play too  :lol:

Surely a commission for Manowar's latest guitarist no?

Oh and it's hideous.

Hmmm....

I think it would be just as effective if you got yourself a nice guitar, AND a sword, scabbard, etc, AND some strap-on wings... and maybe suit of armour, nice big cod-piece, etc...

Looks good/striking, but not as a musical instrument...

Nope, not exactly my cup-of-tea neither :lol:

I hate it.

But I'd still rather been seen playing this than a telecaster.

But I still hate it.

Straight out of the Roo old school!  :lol:

On the sword thing, I'm absolutely sure I don't like it.

Reminds me slightly of the Queensryche 'Triryche" themed one that ESP did

more guitar companies should take pics of their guitars halfway up a mountain. That looks badass. Are there many mountains in croydon, jonathan?

Do people genuinely like these kinds of guitars? Maybe as a piece of art (pushing it though!), but not as an instrument, Shirley!
