I think if you dropped that, it would be interesting to see if it would break at the headstock or the neck-joint. Looks fragile in the extreme...
 
Those always look to me like a guitar made as a high school shop project by a moderately OK student. Hard pass.
 
I kinda dig that. No idea if it's actually a good guitar, but I kinda dig the looks. Then again, I dig horrible Japanese guitars.

However, in the other Reverb photos, the finish looks intentionally pitted, which I don't kinda dig. May just be a trick of the light.
 
No, not this model. The one with humbuckers and no trem maybe, I played one once that I liked, maybe it had a six in line headstock too. Not sure, and it had a solid off white color and not that crappy stain job.
