Framus Earl Slick Signature P90 w / Bigsby B500 Guitar

Guitarist Earl Slick, famous for his playing with David Bowie, joined the Framus family and has now come up with this very cool looking signature model. It's a straight ahead Swamp Ash solid body with a bolt-on neck, Di Marzio P90s, and a Tune O Matic Bridge. But this one is all about the style, baby. Check out that lever-style pickup selector switch.

This guitar defines "cool".

Upper fret access is obviously not something Mr Slick worries about. Also not a Bigsby fan. Not for me.
 
Agreed...hate the bigsby, and I think the pickups are what makes it look cheap. I'm sure there's more if I really cared to look, but I don't.
 
I don't hate it.

But it looks kind of tacky to me.

I might try it out if I saw it hanging in a store.

Might sound and play like a million bucks. Might be firewood, I just can't tell.

s'OK.
 
I like it (no Bigsby hate here), but it certainly doesn't "define cool." And the price is way too high for me.
