OK I guess it is sparkly week. Fits in with the season. And I like this one about as much as I like nutty Christmas sweaters.

I like the finish. I think the lightning motif may be a little overdone. What's with the weird little piece screwed in at the end of the fretboard? Is it just to hide a fretboard overhang?

 

[Flamencology]

Y’know, I think I might like it ok if…

1) it needs a neck PU

2) omg those f-holes are fucking grotesque

Does not fuck.

OK I guess it is sparkly week.

I’m starting to doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

 

[Chad]

I’d rock it in a 339 size.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I actually like this one. I must say, however, that at 8 pounds it seems heavy for a semi- hollow guitar.

 

[Flamencology]

Is it just to hide a fretboard overhang?

I’d have to assume that the neck has a double-action truss rod.

 

[Aahzz]

Give it to me un-reliced, with better f-holes and a neck pickup, and I'd kinda like it.

Rad.

 

[Monson]

I can dig it. I agree with The Flame that it needs a neck PU, and the f-holes are perhaps a bit immoderate, but not on the celibacy thing.

 

[Denverdave]

I'm not a sparkle finish kind of guy. And the lightning f-holes....yikes.

After a friend's experience w/ a Thunders, RnR relics would be on my no fly list

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

I kinda like the lightning f holes.
I don't care for the finish, something like a good Ric style fire burst would be cooler IMO.
And if I only get one pickup, put it at the neck.

 

[Monson]

And the lightning f-holes....yikes.

Yeah they're kinda like Ziggy Stardust meets Avatar.

 

[Tig]

Only if it comes with a matching boat.

 

[Wyatt]

I’d have to assume that the neck has a double-action truss rod.

But double-action truss rods still only adjust at one end and there is a truss rod cover at the headstock.

I think it is to hide a ugly tenon seam.

 

[Honkridge]

I can dig it in a Cinderella/AC/DC tribute thingee

 

[smurfco]

I don't like any of the individual elements, but when you bring it all together I still don't like it.
