    Can anyone explain the logic of the tuner design to me? I don't get that. I'd like to think it's not just because they couldn't make the headstock properly :p

    !? It looks like a friggin' bread bin. A bred bin with a cluth-type thing. I want some of whatever he was on when he designed that thing.

    Holy Mary, Mother of God, Sweet Jesus & All The Baby Lambs!

    *That* is the reason people smash up guitars on stage. It looks like Helen Keller decided to make an instrument from things she found in a skip.

    Now, I'm not normally one for the purile humour, but in the case of this guitar, I think I'll make an exception...

    The difference between that abomination and Brian May's axe is that Brian's actually sounds good.

    Dear jebus! Look at that monstrosity of a 9 string!? Pointlessness altogether. Defeats the purpose of having 9 strings in the first place, unless someone can explain to me why in gods name they'd want a guitar they can flip over and play left handed "Or what ever"?
