I'm not sure why, but when I look at it I think 'Schecter'...

I see what you mean but I'm veering towards Framus myself!

I'm thinking Paul Stanley and those silly-looking Silvertones he endorses.

no - the old tart has gone back to Washburn

Has he?  It's impossible to keep track of him.

Actually, I think maybe it was the old pseudo-Iceman Washburn model I was thinking of.

There's a hint of reverse-headstock Fernandes Ravelle about it too.

I don't like the 'original' black one, but Jonathons pink zebra version looks great :)

I like the idea. Just not with a Mockingbird. I intend to build one.

It's gotten me to go to Kisekae and JCF but I've just noticed you have to donate to use the custom builder on JCF. What a joke :?

I'm not keen on the headstock - strings veer off all over the place

Plus there is a MASSIVE distance between the bridge and the end of the guitar (the bit at the bottom if you put it in a stand). This is also my main gripe with standard SGs and LPs - all that wasted scale length! :)

That really annoys me about Carvins too, and they use a measly 25 inch scale.

It's true! Philly, you've managed to find one, minor redeeming feature about telecasters! Of course, it's not nearly enough to dent their otherwsie steadfast gay pride, though ;)
