That is a beauty. Quite a bit of Picasso going on there.

I like that one. And of course the price is good considering what it is.

The shape of the pickguard is incongruous with the shape of the body.

I think that is what really makes me like it

Doug does nice work, doesn't he? He has a terrific eye for design.

Install a middle Humbucker pickup, rotate the neck pickup so that the screws are facing the bridge, include a Tummy and Forearm Cut, move the volume knob close to the bridge pickup (ala strat), install a Floyd Rose Trem with locking nut and I would be all over that!

I have to say that was the surprise guitar of namm last year. It was really a blast to play, sounded amazing and was a 7 string you could be seen in church with. Loved that guitar.

VERY cool! I could get into that guitar! I wish I had the cash for one.
