It might be good in a barroom fight but beyond that I am horrified... :D

Gawd, is there a zipper hiding somewhere? That can't be meant to be used like that can it?

Looks like a practice guitar for people that live in an apartment complex with paper thin walls :D I'm in Lillian's camp though, that thing's gotta come off...surely? :shock:
Apart from the muffled sound it looks butt ugly too.

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Buddy Holly's guitar was the same. I believe the actor Gary Bussy now owns it, and our friend and fellow forumite Rick Turner did some work on it at one point, but wasn't allowed to take the leather cover off.

Thats ugly. The thing must be about as resonant as a pile of wet leather.

:D They are only making, or made..., 175 of these and they list for $11,499.00... It does have an Adi top if that helps any... :D

I could see how the leather body cover would come in handy if one was to play at those establishments that have the stage covered in chicken wire... :D

I think they've made the case a little too small.

What a waste of a guitar.

I think I need to lie down after seeing that. :shock:
