Even at 1/5 that price no thank you....

And what the heck is a 'mood' control....does it dim stage lighting?

 

[Chad]

get rid of all of that bling, I would give it a spin.

 

[paulskirocks]

Well, of course I wouldn't want to pay for it, and don't necessarily want it, but I kind of like it...

 

[Gorgon90]

Way too much money for me, but I like it. If I was being offered a free guitar and this was one of the choices available, it would get serious consideration.

 

[Elias Graves]

I like the tailpiece and the pickup mount rings.

[Kerouac]

Love it.

 

[Wyatt]

As I noted over at HC, it costs considerable less than the Zemaitis guitars that inspired it.

 

[Mark Wein]

I would definitely give it a spin. It's a bit much for every day work but if I was in a band that had a high degree of "stage look" it would be great.

 

[Jeremy]

I actually kinda like it. I'd like it better with two pickups, though.

 

[tgk03]

If I had an insane amount of money... YES.

 

[warren0728]

i like it....would look great on my wall!

 

[Coralkong]

So bad it's good.

 

[Tralfaz]

Not my style at all, but that looks pretty cool for what it is.

 

[Peeker]

love it.
super over-the-top

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Nah. I don't like the squished Les Paul look.

 

[CBHScott]

As I noted over at HC, it costs considerable less than the Zemaitis guitars that inspired it.

And yet, still just as awful!

 

[Knox in Box]

I like it. I like the Alden versions of this guitar that go for 400 bucks a lot more.
