[Guitar Heel]

Nope.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Not that color, but I am intrigued.

 

[Chad]

Not that color, but I am intrigued.

This.

 

[bsman]

The acoustasonics is way cool, but $2K is too high for my tastes.

 

[Aahzz]

I like the surf green, but nothing else about it.

 

[jp_nyc]

Looks like a strange guitar dressed as a clown.

 

[jelloman]

Wrong color...

 

[Wyatt]

No. I have already poo=pooed it in another thread in natural. But this ...this is even more wronger.

 

[frunobulax]

That'll be first on my list when I go awful-guitar shopping.

 

[newbuilder]

The back looks cool

Will those be offered in all the Necco Wafers colors?

On the plus side, I'm happy to see Fender using striped ebony. This insistence some folks have on "black as night, black as coal" ebony makes me scratch my head. If you want a totally uniform black fretboard, may as well go with richlite!

[Deep Eddy]

An unlimited expression of bad taste.

 

[wok]

Nope

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Love the green.

 

[reverend1]

Fuck. The early reviews seem to be that it tried to be two things at once and doesn’t do either one very well. For 2k you can buy a decent acoustic and a pretty nice Tele.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

I'm intrigued by it as well. But I worry it will neither be fish nor fowl. Guess I'll have to suffer through some lame demo videos on Youtube to find out.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Absolutely not.
