Not being funny but the white and gold in robs picture does the design a lot more justice...

It would be better served by a different guard though. Off the top of my head I’m going with wine red pearly, fuck it

Looks completely Teisco, and those forms are slowly but steadily move into the category of classics

^ Don’t like how chunky the upper horn is or how it joins so inelegantly that high up (or down?) the neck. Or in fact anything about it.

It’s sufficiently weird. I like it. I’m sure it’ll be mad pricey. Every guitar is ugly

I think it'd look cool with a white guard. feel like the ugly musicman headstock does it justice in some way.

It kind of looks like how guitars turn out in cartoons, when the artist has very few points of reference with how the instrument actually needs to work.

dumbass just needs to go back to fender and make a proper fucking upside down black super-sonic for 300 bucks instead of fucking around making 1200 guitars with the Eddie Van Halen guys with all the same parts and control layout

you grew up with the only guitar in the world that fucks an tone knob out of the box and 20 years later you are still fucking an tone knob? we know what you want Omar. do you ?
