Dunno about these, they're not rocking my boat at all. All the disadvantages of a Floyd with the ugliness of a Steinberger?

Karl Hungus · 01-02-2005 1:53pm

Oh jesus, that headstock is sick! Far worse then the auld Steinberger in my eyes.

Doctor J · 01-02-2005 1:57pm

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, plus I'd guess it still goes wildly out of tune when a string breaks unlike a Steinberger. Me no likee.

I like the scratchplate and the finish but.... no,
the headstock has had a few too many belts of an ugly stick.

It's amazing that even with very modern designs like this speedloader thing, they still base it on a 50 year old design (ie- the strat)

feylya · 01-02-2005 4:44pm

Nope, don't like it at all at all

-=al=- · 01-02-2005 4:56pm

nah, not for me either.......

Doctor J · 01-02-2005 5:06pm

I just can't see who they're trying to sell this to. I mean, for the ugly guitar market you've already got the Parker Fly and Steinberger, both of which have vastly better features.

I can't see this shifting in large numbers

feylya · 01-02-2005 5:09pm

AFAIK, they're not selling well at all.

What's the deal with the line going through the pickguard under the volume control? And why do they have to have teh big square heel?

Doctor J · 01-02-2005 5:11pm

The gay line seems to be on all of them and list price is $2500

D!ve^Bomb! · 01-02-2005 5:53pm

i do like the finish.. but 2250:eek: jesus christ is all i have to say!!

Zoton · 01-02-2005 6:23pm

The quick string change feature is probably it's only saving grace. But that ain't worth 2.5k

feylya · 01-02-2005 6:24pm

They weren't even the first to have a guitar with the speed loader on it. BC Rich beat them :eek:

WAN TEH RICH!!!

Although for ugly guitars, I don't think anything will come close to beating the ESP Devil Girl:

And that monstrosity still has a better headstock that the Floyd Rose guitars!

feylya · 02-02-2005 4:49am

Mmm, Devil Girl.

And Steinberger made a vastly better speedloader system about 15 years before them (probably more) which is still a better trem

Zoton · 02-02-2005 12:11pm

But the devil plays a telecaster, i thought ye knew that?
