« on: January 31, 2014, 02:43:23 PM »
(I'm Getting mine in a couple of weeks and will post some HD photos if anyone wants)

Since it has been launched at NAMM 14, I'd like to know everyone's opinion on it.

They look interesting - I like the futuristic styling.  I don't think that the clip did them justice particularly, it's always hard to get a feel for how something sounds at those guitar shows.

But I like the concept of different materials. 
BKPs Past and Present - Nailbombs, Mules, Blackguard Flat 50's, VHII's & Trilogy Suite with Neck & Bridge Baseplates!

Especially in black they look quite stealth. Not my thing really, but I presume the're buyers for these guitars.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

They look great and it's always good to see some innovation but (again) not my kind of thing.

Doesn't the dude from Gamabomb rock something similar?

I've seen him playing a 010 (which only has 6 strings)

I am not uninterested. The concept is cool and there sure is potential, but I can´t get myself to like the look. Those cut out parts or whatever you wanne call em just kill it for me, period.
BKPs in use: 10th set / RY set / Holy Diver b, Emerald n / Crawler bridge, Slowhand mid MQ neck/ Manhattan n
On the sidelines: Stockholm b / Suppermassive n, Mule n, AM set, IT mid
