    Wow! Some serious work went into that.

    On a side note, I wonder how Charlie Christian pups sound?

    It's kind of ugly in my opinion. The construction/materials aspect of it is pretty cool, but I don't find it attractive. To each his own though.

    To each his own. I love the body shape, but dislike all the wood stuff, the flame, and the inlays. It's quite gaudy. Too much bling...but I do love that shape...a lot! I'd love to see it done up like a cherry red LP Jr. Mahogany, wraparound, single P-90, black tophats, no switch.

    I'd like it better in green, but it's way cool.

    Too much woodgrain and flash for my taste, but I can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship and skill required to make such an instrument.

    Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

    Love the craftsmanship, color and flame, but don't like all the wood. Very nice otherwise.
