Weird and wonderful

Look at this. I mean just look at it. This is just exquisite.

I've never really been one for weird oddball guitars but I felt a severe twinge in the credit card when I saw that.

Thank god I donīt even own a credit card xD

Seriously though, that is very pretty and interresting. Though I think I would prefer classic tele PUs on both.

Oh man, I would kill for a 12-string thinline tele on its own. I'd just patch in a reverb pedal on a clean amp and spend the rest of my days playing twiddly-cute post-rock and big pretty chords.

In a more conventional mood, this is on my shortlist of "holy grail" guitars ...

Oooh, not only a matching headstock, but in the very best colour for matching-headstock Strats.  :D

Burgundy Mist is a fine colour.

If it was in Shoreline Gold then I'd go without food to raise the cash for one.

Shoreline Gold is a good colour.  I did once have a Shoreline Gold Strat (without matching headstock, unfortunately).

Nice double axe. Too heavy probably for stage-use.

I wasn't intending to play it. I'd just polish it and look at it.
