[Chicken Man]

I like it, but I hate the pickups and would never be able to replace them.

 

[LeftyTom]

A string too far.

 

[Gorgon90]

Stunning piece of work.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

Plastic?

 

[Monson]

I'd rather start a toilet paper collection.

 

[jelloman]

There's a lot to like, and a lot to hate...

 

[Guitar Heel]

I really like the shape and the neck, hate the details.

 

[Aahzz]

I hate it. A lot. Like a whole lot. Vehement burning hatred. Seems like the perfect guitar for supreme jazz fusion snobbery. Did I mention I hate it?

 

[Denverdave]

Some nice woodworking....but nope. Especially those pickup covers.

 

[Lerxst]

Shame the picture quality isn't all that great . Looks like a really nice piece of craftsmanship.

 

[BuzzBaloo]

I like a lot of it.

But what's with the Hannibal Lector pickups? !?

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I appreciate the artistry that went into it. There is no way I would want it, though.

 

[jp_nyc]

The body and the neck are beautiful. The pickup covers and switch tip look like some guy made them out of putty in his basement.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Pickup covers and switch placement is stupid. Other than that I don't hate it.

 

[frunobulax]

I really like that.

 

[Flatspotter]

You have to remove the neck pickup to adjust the truss rods? Seriously?

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Too many strings.
Goofy looking pickups.
Nice wood, but no thanks.

 

[Tralfaz]

You can tell it's Italian because the pickups look like meatballs.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

I like 7--strings, and the "shades of a Ric 330" body style is kind of cool. Still - I wish the pickups didn't look like they were covered in bacon, or semi-melted. That is so not my thing.
