That's like saying a pile of poo looks nicer than a pool of vomit.

The shecter one looks nice as an object. But as a guitar? No thanks! :lol:

I pretty much knew none of us would like it.

But are coffin guitars a 'thing' now? Surely two manufacturers wouldn't make one unless there was a demand? I only know Zakk that plays one, but I'm not really in touch with the kids so...

i actually think the Epi looks more playable.  i'm still fairly unlikely to get one :)

anyone remember the Epiphone Airstreamer?

there was the gretch bo diddly, which was just square.  then there was the billy-bo, which was Billy Gibbons' version of it, which i think had a little more shaping to it

I can imagine Atreyu or A7X using them.  Or what's that new band, Black Veil Brides?

It just seems like a really ugly, ungainly shape to me.  Although the Schecter is a bit more compact, which helps a little.
