[LeftyTom]

The finish kills the appeal to me.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I get what they're going for what that finish, but it's a swing and a miss.

 

[emmaporkchop]

No, but it always seems to be a "no" when it comes to this particular brand.

 

[Coralkong]

It seriously looks like a kid took a can of black spray paint to it.

No.

 

[Kerouac]

Oh fuck, do I need to take back up the cowl?!

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Oh fuck, do I need to take back up the cowl?!

 

[jelloman]

If it was a clear finish and not that crap fade it would almost be George material...

 

[wagdog]

It looks like an out of focus guitar.

 

[gtrjunior]

I don't mind the quilt top, just don't like the color.

 

[Chad]

someone must have pissed Howie off this week.

Pass.

 

[Modern Saint]

I would sample it. Wish they didn't spray the black on the guitar though.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Nah, I'll pas on this one.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Does nothing for me.

 

[OGG]

Not much there for me.

And the pilots was laid to da bone holme!

 

[speakerjones]

I feel like this picture was taken in horrible lighting. I feel like if it was taken in better lighting, I would still hate it. I've always wanted something with the bridge piezo thing, but I'd definitely opt for a Parker or a Hamer before this.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Not the Kelly I would choose. Some of their LP types are kinda nice, but99% of em are too blingy.

 

[PunkKitty]

No

 

[Gorgon90]

Some potentially good ideas ruined by a horrible paint job.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Some potentially good ideas ruined by a horrible paint job.

Isn't that the brand's signature look?
