I've never picked one up, but they sure look like something cool.

The new guitar gallery at Sweetwater is pretty cool unless you have no time to waste.
 
Based on looks and price the Kingpin deserves a 'That's Hot' award. I haven't played one yet, so I can't give it the 'Big Boner' award.

I like the look, but I played one in a shop recently. It seemed to be a well-built instrument, but it was not the guitar for me. I didn't care for the finish on the neck (it felt like I could feel the wood grain) and was underwhelmed by the way it played.
 
I think it's super HAWT. However, having already owned its predecessor, it's not the guitar for me. Looked great and played great, but didn't love the feel or sound.
 
I have the regular Kingpin (neck pickup only) and love it. It's my favorite things about an acoustic and an electric rolled into one guitar.
