Great finish, but the body itself keep not doing me :?
But I would love a guitar with a finish like that

That flamed one looks awesome, not something i could live with day to day but as a one off, quirkly stage axe, brilliant!

Hmm when I look at the position of the floyd within the middle of the body rather than the tail, this will be a very long guitar. I like them short, like e.g. a MusicMan Axis.

I know exactly what you mean - although you see the picture of the girl with the guitar and you can see that it also looks good as a stage guitar

As an Iceman fan and a Flying V player I get on with many bigger guitars although I don't like the Dean Razorback

I like guitars bith a bit of body behind the bridge. Explorers, Flying V's, Gretsches.

I have thought about getting one of those Mockingbird Specials. I didn't because the bridge is to far to the back.

Yeah, I noticed that - they've done it so the 22nd fret is where the 24th would normally be, and moved the bridge accordingly.  It messes up the visual balance.  I don't think the Les Paul control arrangement suits it, either.

I like the look of the Calibre Classics, but I've never seen one in a shop and it's not something I'd buy without trying first.
