Welcome to the MWGL Forum Guitar Pic of the Day. I'm your host, Help!I'maRock!

For those who don't know, the GPOTD is simple. i post a guitar and some specs and we argue about it. i try to get as many different manufacturers and pricepoints as possible, so you're guaranteed to not like everything. personally, i don't like most of the guitar posted. sometimes i post the most hideous thing i can find because its funny. feel free to PM me with suggestions and pics of guitars you'd like to see featured.

so here you are. enjoy!!!

I'm not sure I like it, but I don't really know...kinda hard to tell how the whole guitar looks since I can only see about 1/4 of it at a time.

Where did you find a pic that big? biggrin

the racing stripe really ruins the guitar....without the stripe it would look cool.....

LOL. A picture of the whole guitar would be nice, but I'm not in my office with the 22" monitorr tongue0

Mahogany, huh? Its an interesting mix of features. I hate the stripe. If it had p90's and no strip I think I would be in love biggrin

Okay, I saved the pic and resized it so it'd fit on my screen.

Not too bad. Not something I'd rush out to buy, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to play it in front of people.

i posted that one a while back, either as a Hot or Not or as a GPOTD. so it'll probably be a while until i get back to that one.

its a cool guitar for sure. i'd like to check one out. but i'd like to repeat myself as little as possible in the GPOTD. that was my problem with it previously, and one of the reasons i wanted to take it over.

Good call. Mystix is a cool guy and all but I think we just saw the same 4 guitars every week.
