    :p

    I don't like it either. I just found it interesting.

    The 25th Anniversary one was an M-II with a black brushed aluminium pickguard, dual EMG 81's, the 25th logo etched on the pickguard and a tribal inlay on the neck.

    You said it.

    As far as crazy guitar designs go, that one pretty much sucks ass. Whoever was given the job of designing this piece of 'art', should be sacked.

    I can understand why they'd want to make something wierd to show of their luthier skills, but to try and sell it afterwards? Ach no! It's too ugly. It's the only guitar you'd have to play with a brown paper bag over it so you don't get arrested :)

    No, this was custom made for some punk band in the late 70's, flesh coloured, full on ballbag and all.

    They look ugly. Dull. Soulless. They'd fit in well in a Roland 707

    TBH, the 90's wasn't much better. And the 80's had loads of decent bands.

    Hey, they followed up some awful guitar design with some awful website design. You have to give them credit for that kind of consistency. As for the 30th Anniversary one... its like someone said "Lets make the worst designed guitar in history and see if anyone will buy it out of prestige". It even looks uncomfortable to hold. It might be useful for trashing the stage after a gig though.

    It's Japan tbh. What did you expect?

    It's not really a guitar to play, more to hang on your wall...

    He does student nights now. Tours universities, plays mallet's mallet with drunken teenagers, etc. He makes his money anyway.

    Don't knock the 80's. Someday I'm going to have the "Pat Sharpe Mullet". ;)
