    I like it!! Trouble is guitarists are SO conservative....
    "If it's Blues music in a bar and it helps people swallow their drink of choice, or it's a dance song and people get up off their chairs and shuffle their feet, or it's a Jazz tune and the Chardonnay tastes so much better... then it's all good."

    I do like it, but I am not quite sure I'd be sold on it myself.

    I may also be a touch underwhelmed because I've seen Somnium's take on it all and prefer it. I think it's pretty much that I love the idea of hotswapping of pickups too much haha

    From the video, the sound seems all down to the core guitar, the extra body provides almost nothing apart from looks. As the coare and body are barely connected, I wouldn't expect them to add much to the sound. Maybe if you glued them together then you'd get more vibrational transfer to the body and back again, but that would defeat the purpose.
