I really love it. It's an odd company, to be sure, but I think it's beautiful.

 

[jelloman]

Will the fact that it comes with "J Dran Private Reserved Gourmet Coffee" make anybody want to buy it more?

Is that the coffee that comes out of the butt of a cat?

 

[LeftyTom]

Intricate inlays with crappy finish does not compute.....

 

[baimun]

Why do all the elements that I like add up to a guitar that I really don't? Yeah, the finish is just wrong in some places....

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I really like some of these Warriors, but this model is just ugly.

 

[DFB]

I kind of like it. The inlays suck.

 

[jelloman]

No...much like the universe itself, J Dran Private Reserved Gourmet Coffee is sneezed out of the nose of the Great Green Arkleseizure...

I do not like it, Sam I am. I do not like it in a box. I do not like it with a fox. I do not like it on a train. I do not like it in the rain.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Nah, it doesn't do much for me.

 

[bsman]

My first glance was "yuck", but with each new look it gets better-looking. Agree that the lion inlay doesn't work, and the Gibson fanboyz won't like the controls.

 

[grover]

I do not like it, Sam I am. I do not like it in a box. I do not like it with a fox. I do not like it on a train. I do not like it in the rain.

I do not like it on my brain

 

[Knox in Box]

Put me down in the "intricate inlays and crappy finish does not compute" crowd.

And that finish really fucking sucks, I wouldn't even finish a kit guitar like that. I would be embarrassed. And "Dran Micheal annointed oil " sounds dirty anyway.

Clown shit burst

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Never seen a Warrior guitar I've liked, and this one isn't changing that view.

 

[jp_nyc]

It looks like somebody fucked up a rattlecan burst on some cheap mallcore guitar and reliced the edges to make the fail less obvious.

 

[Denverdave]

A potentially awesome guitar ruined by god awful inlays and a terrible burst finish.
