[Tiltsta]

Kind of looks like a melted tele. I guess it is OK looking, but it doesn't really excite me very much.

 

[CBHScott]

In the Rhoney world, there are ones I like a lot, and ones I dislike a lot. This one falls about in the middle.

 

[Punchy]

I like it. As usual, can't afford it, but I like it.

 

[Chad]

Love it.

 

[Scott_Abene]

I kind of dig everything but the price tag

 

[Denverdave]

Nothing special, but I like it. That neck joint though.....i don't know. Looks like it might not be super strong.

 

[Mark Wein]

I like it actually. I saw it on the wall at NAMM if memory serves me right but I got stuck on playing something else and never picked it up.

 

[Coralkong]

I like it.

 

[Guitar Heel]

For that price, you'd think they could fashion a pickguard that fits correctly around the bridge.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

Would. But too rich for my blood, price-wise.

 

[IamSeaDevil]

I liked it better in person. Rhoney had some great stuff at NAMM.

 

[bsman]

I would really love to play that! It's like a 52 hot rod tele in offset mufti.

 

[JC777]

I can dig it.

 

[Knox in Box]

I really just don't know.

Meh I guess, I'm sure it's a good guitar though.

 

[GreatDane]

I like the builders work in general, but this isn't doing it for me. The whole butterscotch Tele thing is very played out for me Right now, so yawn...

 

[Kerouac]

No.

 

[wok]

Not my thing at all

 

[Modern Saint]

 

[Stratguy]

On looks alone, it's ok, but it's not grabbing me.
