| It reminds me of those teardrop Vox guitars Brian Jones played in the '60's. The resophonic upgrade maybe? |

At least it doesn't look like the gazillion other guitars out there. I thought the body looked more like a Huges 500 helicopter.  |

| Looks like it would be difficult to play standing with a strap. The rounded upper body would be difficult to control. Then again, it's not how it feels, it's how good it looks!!! |

Did the frets look un-crowned to anybody else? They looked a little high to me. I bet it sounds really cool.
Definitely a head turner. |

Me, too. I also thought "George Jetson meets Darth Vader!" I see they put in one of those new Alumitone p'ups. Anyone heard one of those yet?
