I would love to see it in a different finish. That red sparkle isn't doing it for me. Other than that, I dig it.
 
Do Like: Finish, maple fretboard, P90s, Bigsby
Do Not Like: 12th fret inlay only, cream-coloured P90s, strap pin location
 
Looks like an electric version of a Tacoma Pappose w/ a bigsby & 70s motorcycle helmet sparkle paint job.


Pass
 
I like P-90s, the body shape, and the maple board.

Everything else makes we want to beat it about the face and neck. :embarrassed:
 
I've been having fun with it.
Realized pretty quickly that the main ones who chime in are the ones that don't like the guitar, so there's far more negative comments than positive.
Up to now, I've been trying to do out of the ordinary stuff. Everybody knows what a strat looks like.

Oddly enough, the Godin Icon from the other day was almost universally well received.
Maybe beacuse it looks like a Les Paul. ???

EG
 
I hate it one second and think it's got possibilities the next second. The red sparkle has got to go though.....

Ye old like-o-meter
