I mean it's wider than the pickgaurd underneath it. Come on guys, you can do better than that.

I didn’t say it was good art.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

That's actually pretty cool as Backlund'backer LP-thingies go.

 

[jp_nyc]

Love it.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

Looked at their site. Those are some cool guitars. Pricey but nice.

Fuck them for using Honduran Mahogany and Rio Palisander CITES certified or not.

 

[micwalt]

I don't hate it as much as I should.

 

[DFB]

No thanks.

CITES paperwork is only as honest and incorruptible as the exporting official that approved it. Money talks.

I want to say it's better than nothing, but not by much. People are working the system on both ends.

 

[BlockInlay]

The body lines are almost great. I’d definitely try one, if nothing else to hear those Lollars sing.

 

[LeftyTom]

Ooooohhhhh yyeeaaahhhh!

Isn’t Honduran mahogany grown on plantations like lumber in the USA?

 

[Dudeman1967]

Pretty cool, just not $4K cool.

 

[GAS Man]

I like it, but thinline designs aren't necessarily my fave - tone-wise.
But I like the retro look, but not $4600 worth, by any means. Kinda funny that for 46 Benjamins they throw in a gig-bag.

Not all I'd imagine, there are still the few old growth trees and it's still endangered.

It checks some boxes for me, but it's a missed opportunity to make a 24.5" scale guitar.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

So I love that.

I think it needs to be in a flat retro 50s/60s mod color. And the pickguard seems just a little off. I like the lines of the body and the overall vibe.
