[Monson]

I'm not that into cubism and on close inspection it doesn't seem that well made actually.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

Don’t like the dark photos and there are a lot of flaws in that new $3000 guitar. All the those different woods glued together, will there be an issue with it later? Like expanding and contracting itself into cracks etc?

 

[Flamencology]

This does nothing for me.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Would look much better with a dark rosewood or ebony fingerboard.
Still, the thing looks like a waste of time and money to me.

 

[Motorik]

A full-blown 'no' from me.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Meh.

 

[frunobulax]

Nope.

 

[Chicken Man]

Huh. I like it.

 

[Guitar Heel]

handy for all your spontaneous charcuterie needs.

 

[Honkridge]

Scraps off the floor...what shall we do with them?

 

[ugameus]

It looks like someone was jacking around with the dimensions in photoshop and forgot to put that lower horn back to original specs. It looks way off to me in terms of balance with the rest of the guitar.

 

[DFB]

Nope

 

[Aahzz]

I like the slightly altered Tele shape - but that's it.

The one in your link is much better. I didn’t find many flaws in the construction. Today’s has a number of chunks missing. Surprised me.

I think it's the same one if you click through the pics to the right (not the LPish one in my OP of that thread)
