Teh crystal lettuce is strong in this one

 

[Coralkong]

Why not?

It's out there, but at least it is unique.

 

[Modern Saint]

I like the shape but not into the table top decor.

"Stone and wood have a completely different micro structure. On a wood top the sound waves move along the wood grain much stronger than to the side. On a stone top the sound waves spread much more even in all directions making the whole top resonate with a long and even sustain. This is because stone has a dense molecular crystal grid structure while wood has an open cell structure. Mounting the bridge directly on the stone top with the strings going thru the Mahogany body allows a very strong attack and continuous and even sustain."

My BS detector is buzzing like crazy. I'd sure like to see if there are any acoustical analyses by credible sources backing this up or if it's (as I suspect) a bunch of marketing BS...

EXACTLY what I was thinking as I read it, and for that, I'm out.

 

[Gorgon90]

Gorgonized? I had nothing to do with it, honest.

I love it.

 

[Danhedonia]

Helps me understand the Hasselhof phenomenon.

 

[335clone]

I'm too gorgonized to actually give a fuck about this POS. I feel like someone did this...

to a faux marble countertop in a McMansion

 

[yabba]

the more I look at it (and their other guitars) it looks like a counter top in a luxury condo.

this. and not an attractive countertop at that.

Lessee, a "sort of" Ric 480/4001 body shape, with a routed out body (like a Thinline Tele, Ric 360, etc.), but with a thin stone top (probably to keep it from weighing too much - but probably explaining why the top needed to backed with fiberglass [so the stone wouldn't crack/break apart]), that IMO, probably doesn't contribute as much to the sound, as the maker claims .......... sort of interesting (since it is kind of different), but color me skeptical until I try it out.

 

[Knox in Box]

The one he's holding in the video is a big yeah, I can even accept the gold hardware. This one, not so....

They look exceptionally well made though I'll give them that.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Not at all in interested in that.

 

[BuzzBaloo]

What a stunning top. Unique, not too overstated. I like the looks despite it not really being something I would consider for myself.

 

[Danhedonia]

Probably popular on Lawn Guyland.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I actually think it's quite attractive, and I'd like to play it. Sure, the Crystal Lettuce is ridiculous, and I'm more than confused by the 3-piece body after all of that effort, but I'd give it a spin.
