Weighs significantly less than I thought it would, is pretty cool looking (always dug Jerry's guitars from an artistic perspective), probably sounds great (and likely far more versatile than just getting Jerry tone), but isn't really something I'd want.

Of course, it has to be ridiculously expensive, but I'm not really interested in knowing the price.

Not at all a Dead fan...

Not at all a Dead fan...

Taking that out of the equation, there's nothing you like about the guitar?

I don't care for John Mayer, but his new for playing with the Dead & Co. is awesome (despite all the switches):

Admittedly already a PRS fan, but still...

 

[BlockInlay]

never cared for that body shape. looks like a nifty guitar to futz around with tho.

edit: in addition to not caring for the shape, this guitar is just plain ugly at every point. the bridge, the body shape, the cap at the bottom of the neck, the head stock, the inlays. it's just fucking ugly.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Not something I would ever buy, but that is a cool looking guitar. Would love to try it out.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Sign me up!

 

[Knox in Box]

Probably a stellar guitar. I still don't want it, not my thing.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Nope.

 

[Flamencology]

I dig it.

It must be said - it really must, don't question - that it would look much much smarter without the inlays or the gold.

Ditto for the Mayer PRS.

 

[Chad]

I don't like the bridge, all the switches or the 3 pickups.

 

[jelloman]

Taking that out of the equation, there's nothing you like about the guitar?

It is a beautiful piece of wood, and I'm sure it plays like a dream...but I do not at all find that horn design attractive...

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

It's amazing, but I have no use for it.

 

[Tig]

Beautiful wood on an otherwise abomination.

 

[Denverdave]

I really want to hate that....and in fact I do.

Would!

Always loved that body shape. There are some trim pieces I don't like the aesthetics of, but I'd play it,
