Why did they ruin that amazing piece of wood by staining it that terrible color?:(

 

[Chad]

I like that it doesn't have 26 pickups like his regular signature model, but hate the finish.

 

[emmaporkchop]

Maybe in a solid color it would be bearable. Just not very many guitars I like the look of with highly figured woods.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

I'm neutral about it. It certainly looks better than some Music Man guitars I've seen in recent times, but it still is just a Super-Strat to me.

 

[wok]

I like it, bit I have a thing for blue guitars

 

[sleewell]

pretty cool.

 

[bsman]

needs moar flame and quilt...

 

[Brian Krashpad]

I like that it doesn't have 26 pickups like his regular signature model, but hate the finish.

^That.

Aquarium tops are dealbreakers for me.

 

[DFB]

I bet it a great guitar, but that finish is terrible.

 

[Modern Saint]

What DFB said

 

[12Pack]

Hmmmm - not sure what I would use this for. The quilted finish isn't that bad on the body - it's the neck that makes me want to vomit.

 

[Aahzz]

It's OK. I dig the blue, I like figured woods that end up looking like water. Don't care for the headstock/neck finish. Wouldn't touch it at that price.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Apply Motörhead sticker.
Procreate without limitation.

VTF approved!

 

[Guitar Heel]

I dig it.

 

[gtrjunior]

I like that a LOT. I'd prefer a flame top over the quilt though.
One of the things I never liked about the Morse model was that ugly pickguard shape. I like it with the clear guard....no guard would be better.

 

[Flatspotter]

I'd prefer a different color, but otherwise hot.

 

[PunkKitty]

Meh.

 

[CBHScott]

I like the finish, and MM makes great guitars, but most of 'em aren't for me.

 

[Lerxst]

The neck looks pretty sweet.
