[Chad]

I kinda like it. Give it to me with a mastery bridge and vibrato, and I love it.

 

[Peen Simmons]

I hate that.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

sufficiently weird.

 

[sleewell]

I love it, the only thing I would change is the location of the pickup selector.

I like what’s going on here. Too many offset SG style guitars are in the uncanny valley of almost being an SG and it just makes them look cheap. This makes a strong statement like a Reverend Sensei does but an ESP Viper does not. The big assed 70s knob is cool, although I’d prefer two.

 

[Tiltsta]

I think it looks pretty cool.

 

[LeftyTom]

I'd like it with a different pickguard.

 

[wagdog]

I'd like it if it looked like a tele, had two single pickups and a fender headstock.

 

[Modern Saint]

No-ope

 

[bsman]

Oddly appealing, but I don't know about that concentric pot...

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

The 1970's called. They want their design cues back.

 

[Flatspotter]

Too much pickguard and I'd hit the pickup switch constantly, but otherwise not bad.

 

[CBHScott]

If a $2.00 knob can ruin an otherwise nice aesthetic, well, here you go...yeah, I know, it can easily be replaced, but why poison my initial impression?


ETA: and what's with the massive pickguard? Is there really a 1/3 of the body route for controls underneath it? If so, that's a lot of routing for a switch and a knob. Jeez, rear-route two smaller control pits and lose the pickguard altogether. Sheesh...

ETA II: Oh, and the placement of the switch is dumb, dumb, dumb...

Never mind, they ruined it. FAIL.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

The pickguard/knob kills it. Pretty spiffy otherwise...really like the body shape.

Based on the description you can probably get other control configurations that would use more of the PG. the description says volume and tone and a few other details that don't match the photo.

 

[Virtual Pariah]

Seems cool. Guild crossed with Hoffner or something.

Depending on price, it could be great.

 

[12Pack]

Nope.

 

[BlockInlay]

I kinda like it. Except the fingerboard looks dirty. And the toggle is in a stupid place.

I would totally play that though. It's different without being overstated.

 

[speakerjones]

Yeah, a little too much pick guard and terrible switch placement. Otherwise, I dig it.
