It reminds me of a model that Dennis Fano produces http://www.fanoguitars.com/artifactSP6.html which is based on the non cutaway Partridge model http://chalkhills.org/cgi-bin/img?images/press/Guitar0007-02.jpg

Is that a new St Blues? I didn't know they were back in production.

I remember when Buck Dharma from Blue Oyster Cult used to play them back in the late '80s. I always liked the way they used the same basic body shape for different styles of guitars.

They do look fantastic - and some of the best relic'ing I've ever seen, if it's possible to judge from photos.

It's a Lesocaster or something, cool.

I think that looks like an aborted Telecaster. Just awful.

the St. Blues, as mentioned in the Guitarist review, is quite a bit like the Gibson Blueshawk.

That's all i have to say about that.

To be fair, St Blues were making guitars very much like the one above 7 or 8 years before Gibson launched the Nighthawk series.
