I'm not sure if I like this or not. It seems to be confused about what it wants to be:

I think I hate being indecisive.

After careful consideration I agree. WTF are those tuners about.

i'm not sure about the headstock shape (i.e. it's horrible), but other than that, I think i like it. :)

They're Grover Imperials, for that authentic jazz guitar look.  :wink:

Oh God, that headstock is so, so bad.

They've tried to combine a D'Angelico (or something) with a PRS Singlecut and it's...... WRONG! 

It's like Stephen Fry got together with Megan Fox (bear with me...) and the baby ended up with his looks and her brains.  :|

I've seen one in  black (and another one White ) with a Bigsby,and it was beautiful  :)!On this pic,you don't really see the headstock properly...Originally,it was just a Private Stock made for only one good client.

Nah, still don't like it!

They've scaled up the Singlecut body without noticeably changing the proportions at all - it just looks weird to me.  And the thing is enormous!

I quite like the one in the middle with a white headstock.

There is something not quite 'balanced' about the design. Bet is sounds great though  :D
