The single cut reminds me of one of the 70s Ovation solid bodies.

Ovation was my first thought when I saw it too.
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home

I kinda like it. But then again, I want a bigsby, but I don't like the look of them exactly. Scratchplate is fugly, but I like the idea of it. My money is safe. Until i finally settle the sg vs 335 debate in my mind.

If they do one with P90s it would be cool.

OK, seen the pics now...

The singlecut mira thing, (Starla?) not bad.  But then again, I have been pondering a Grestch Corvette on and off, so that makes some sense... think I'd rather go for a Corvette on looks though (and I suspect price as well...) And I see exactly what people mean about "Ovation" as well...

But I'm sorry, that other thing... (Chesapeake) AGGHH! PDT_039

ugly, ugly, UGLY!!!  :orcass:

Please tell me you're only gassing about the first one, and the other post was just sharing information!! :wink:

What next, a PRS Tele?

Nope, but there's a PRS Strat  :o



Pardon my language, but that is a f@cking atrocity!  :evil:

Honestly, who in their right mind designed that... thing?

- Nickel, gold and black hardware all on the same guitar.   :x
- Early '80s "furniture style" multiple-timber construction.   :x
- Pukey, tacky sub-Richie Sambora inlays.   :x
- A ludicrously elaborate logo.   :x
- The worst six-in-line headstock shape of all time - eclipsing even Danny Spitz's super-fugly custom camo PRS.  :x
- And a truly nasty Ibanez-Blazer-meets-early-Peavey scratchplate with about 17,000 screws.  WTF?!!!  :x :x :x

Honestly, it must be some kind of practical joke.  Isn't it????  :? :shock:

Nope.  And it's going to be expensive as it's a Private Stock guitar.

It's SHOCKINGLY awful isn't it?

I'm not a fan of the Mira  myself, and both of those other PRS' are even worse! Looks like my moneys safe until I can find a Custom 22 that I can afford :)

I'm coming round to the look of the mira - I thought it was horrible at first, but when I saw one in the flesh I decided it was best not to try in case I liked the feel of it!

I think it's very interesting how several of us seem to actually find this chesapeake thing offensive to look at! Usually I keep quiet (beauty in the eye of the beholder, and all that), but I felt sufficiently offended to post my little outburst last night, and now I see Philly's - love that "a truly nasty ... scratchplate with about 17,000 screws"!! :lol:

I think it's the two-wood body that gets me most - hides a body shape that isn't that bad...
