It looks like it'll sound great and play well but the spalted maple craze has gone on far too long for my liking, and the single coil pickup 'rings' are awful! They completely ruin it for me.

I like spalted maple, infact i ordered a spalted maple top the other day:

but its a complete bugger to work with, It is a type of mould/decay and leaves  lot of the maple a lot softer than is really ideal for a musical instrument.  It needs to be stabilised and hardened before it is really usable and i am a little unsure if i would trust an oil finish to give it the protection it needs - although i am sure Duncan has thought of that and done something about it beforehand.

Just mentioning these points because tis somethign you should be aware of before buying a guitar with spalted woods - i made one a few years ago before i really new as much and didnt treat the spalt before finsihing and the spalt has definately shrunk more than the harder wood sections.

Anyway i like the Organic guitar and dont think the pickup rings would look as strange in person - remember that organic flush mount the rings!!  I can imagine that looking pretty sweet from another angle
