They're great aren't they?

I checked one out recently and liked it a lot, but the price seemed a little steep...

I read the review in Guitar & Bass a few months back and I must admit, although it's only a small detail, that wanky thin scratchplate puts me off a bit.  Maybe it wouldn't matter "in the flesh".

It does seem a bit pricey as well.

They are pricey, but wellmade with good materials and have their own sound. Some of them on the bright side, which can be good. Personally I would fav two buckers. Would miss the neckpickup-sound.

I really like that Duesenberg guitar a great deal.  I don't think it's quite as pretty as this (https://www.rainbowguitars.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p=GBHB181C130&sn=) but then it's nowhere near the price:

If half as good as my 49er is for gigging(could bounce of walls would still stay in tune) may be worth the price just don't have at mo

Agreed, my GAS for those one-pickup LPs gets stronger every time I see one - especially the black one decked out like an LP Custom.

(I still think they messed up the location of the knobs, though.... LP Junior style would look so much better.  Gibson can never get anything exactly right!)

I like them a lot. But I'd want a blue sparkling one
I also like the gold sparkle Billy Bo he uses that is purple on the back.

That's quite a tall order! :lol:

Brilliant picture, absolutely brilliant - one hopes that there were suitably righteous sounds coming out of the speakers to match the image :D

I'm not usually a fan of sparkly guitars, but I think I prefer the blue one to the gold top.
