I always thought these guitars were great variation on the star/Exploder body shape. Going into a JCM900, Takasaki had a really great metal tone, too!

I know someone on this forum owns an original Killer in a natural finish. I love this one in "Orange Sunshine", which my singer dubbed "Creamsickle".










Here's the goldtop version:

It's very pointy!  I've never heard of 'em before, but yeah, I think Creamsicle's a good name for the colour, too.

On a slight tangent, I think people are becoming more accepting of a wider range of guitar brands.  I'm not necessarily talking about this guitar, but I remember when, if you tried to sell a guitar second hand that wasn't a Gibson or Fender, you got nothing for it, because no one wanted a brand they didn't recognise.  Now we seem to pay extra for stuff we've never heard of.
