T-Rod

The new Scala T-Rod takes thing to the next level. Incorporating the best of the vintage design, but with modern features and refinements only available in Scala Guitars. This T-rod comes in a custom Nicotine White finish with “Indian” graphics over a chambered and vented Alder body, a Quartersawn Maple neck with Scala’s Endless Frets and Compression Free bolt-on design. Three custom Arcane pickups are controlled with a 5-way switch and a push/pull on the Tone for a total of seven great sounds, plus a kill switch located between the Volume and Tone. Topped off with Scala’s custom knobs, switch tip, killer graphics and metalwork. These more artistic versions of Scala Guitars are very limited and all one-of-a kind!

When it comes to high end boutique instruments, it is all about the details which take a concept and it’s functionality to another level. Features like the ‘Compression Free’ bolt on construction, hand oiled necks with ‘Endless Fret’ slotting design, an optional chambering system that features our unique ‘Sound Vents’ design, recessed stainless steel neck plates with brass logo inlays, optional set neck conversion, proprietary hand wound Arcane USA pickups combined with multi switching options and countless hours of meticulous skilled labor, makes the new T-rod play and perform above and beyond the competition.

Shit, you got that inked, too? :embarrassed:
Ouch, no. Just my chest and back. It's funny, when I wear shorts and a T-shirt you can't tell I have tattoos. You should see some peoples reactions when they see my tattoos. I guess they assume I am someone who would not have any tattoos.
 
I had to revisit this thread to reiterate just how godawful this thing is, but I started looking closely at the pics. Does the bridge placement look a bit off? Looks like the high E is dangerously close to the edge of the fretboard, and what's with the saddle positions? :messedup:

Uh uhhhh...not paying 6K for a fugly, unplayable piece of "art".

I guessed as much but couldn't pass it up. :trollface:
While I don't have many, none here in the corporate white collar skyscraper would guess I had any at all.
 
It's cool but it's still just a telecaster.
For a $5k custom guitar, I don't want a partscaster no matter how good it is.
You'd think for that cash they could at least design a fresh body shape.
