Put on a strat bridge with locking tuners and expose the AA maple top (that rating should mean a nice but more subdued aesthetic, relative to figured woods). Then slap on a neck with a maple board and loop at least $2K off the price I might actually try it if I saw it hanging on the wall of a music store.
 
Would rather buy an Axis and save some $$$ and probably have a better guitar.
 
I never realized until looking at the second picture, but it looks like upper fret access is actually a little sketchy. Plus, it has the weird reverse pickup switch. Would have to rewire that immediately. Other than that, it's pretty hot. Didn't know they were that expensive though. Kind of ironic from a guy that got famous on a bargain-basement DIY partscaster.
 
Probably a hot guitar - just not my thing - though I do generally like the neck profile on his guitars a lot. Not crazy about the finish either....
 
I like it. I know nothing about a Floyd bridge and how to maintain it, but I am guessing I could learn. Price is too rich for my blood though.
 
I really love the gray/black look of this one. I would grab it as one of the import lines for 1300 bucks, but no way I would pay 3K for it.
