Lol, incredibly ugly and essentially just a take on a nylon acoustic. That thing has "fail" written all over.

Apart from the hardware, it looks very much like the Ed Roman Kingpin, a guitar he's been doing for awhile. Dunno who Ed stole that idea from though.

From the Ed Roman site:

Probably Basslab, the same people who made the guitar in the OP.

Well the Ed Roman guitar certainly looks similar, but it's built of solid wood. This guitar is built fully hollow from carbon fibre neck included and was designed and made to fit a patron's remit. I can fully understand why it doesn't go down well with you guy's aesthetically, after all the backbone of the guitar buying public's opinion is one of conservatism in extemis. But where I personally feel disappointed in your assessment is not one mention of the tone and playability of the thing. Yeah I agree stylistically it wouldn't be an obvious addition to my collection, but I just think in terms of answering a design demand this was something of an achievement and remarkably so. Basically did it look playable and sound good? You tell me.
