A little pricey for a Strat copy.

ugly headstock, ugly body. i hear they sound great but i would pass for that kind of coin.

 

[mikesr1963]

If that's not a vinyl wrap on the body there are a ton of hours in that paint work. If it's paint I like it a lot.

Worst headstock in the business. I could get over the shape, but the unnecessary repetition of the builder's name is unforgivable. I also find the laser-straight line on the contour jarring, given the random character on the rest of the finish.

 

[Coralkong]

I'd like to try it out.

1993 called. They want to know why somebody painted a guitar in a grunge aesthetic about ten years too late.

A friend of mine has one of those. Tyler guitars play nice.

A friend of mine has one of those. Tyler guitars play nice.

I understand they're supposed to be quite good guitars.

The looks of this one however...bloody hell, no.

 

[Knox in Box]

Oh fuck no

 

[jelloman]
