[Tiltsta]

I like it. My first impression was that of revulsion to the odd pick guard shape, but it kind like it after looking at it for a bit. Plus, speedholes!

 

[OGG]

No.

Fuck no.

Just, fuck no.

 

[Tig]

Tone louvers!

I like most of it but the top material and the tone louvers aren't working for me.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Ewwwwwwwwwwww!

 

[Guitar Heel]

Just because you can do a thing...

 

[Mark Wein]

I wanna play slide on it.

 

[Dudeman1967]

Nobody offereed it to me but I'm still going to say "no thanks."

 

[Chad]

Give me that guitar in wood, with a normal top and a mastery bridge and vibrato, and I am all over it.

 

[Punchy]

Very cool.

 

[Coralkong]

Looks uncomfortable to play.

 

[DFB]

I like it just for the strangness factor.

 

[CBHScott]

I want to fight the urge to hate it, but the want-to just isn't quite there, and if it was, I'm sure I would lose the fight, anyway.

 

[Stratguy]

I'd need to know a little more about the pickups, but overall, I kind of like it.

 

[2112]

No.

Fuck no.

Just, fuck no.

This pretty much sums it up for me. Thanks, OGG.

I could add that I tried as hard as I could to find a few fucks to give about it but came up empty.

 

[dougk]

I really like it. Price seems reasonable too.

 

[bsman]

Is T6 a good tone aluminum?

 

[Mark Wein]

Is T6 a good tone aluminum?

It strengthens the crystal lattice nicely.

Honestly, I'd like to try one.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I don't like the shape of the pick guard. Maybe if it was a less-contrasting colour, it would be OK.

 

[335clone]

Give me a completely different guitar, and I am all over it.
