That guitar is amazing Zandit. Not my style, but it really is a quality piece of work.
I Played one of these the other day and really enjoyed it. its supposed to be inspired by Japanese 'Cafe Racer' bikes. The sound out of it was huge!

I've heard the lower end of the range is a bit naff to play - but this one really surprised me. It was a coin toss as to whether I brought this or the Hagstrom I eventually settled on home.
And yeah the tail piece is really cool, overall it had a very nice feel to all the components.
Not a great pic - but this is what I left with- certainly beautiful to play. Hagstrom Deluxe D2H

Beauty is always in the eye of the beer holder, but this is beautiful for it's sentiment alone and unfortunately I can't find a photo anywhere else but on FB so here's the link. ( Fican guitars are only about 10Ks down the road from me )

Another acoustic builder I follow is John Kinnaird. He's been playing around with Black and White Ebony.
Looks gorgeous!

Wow. That ebony is something else!
Some of these guitars are just amazing, but it kind of just makes me feel a little bit inadequate on the skill front. Oh well I'll get over it
JB I figure I have some skills in other areas that those guys don't. I just don't know what they are yet.
Yep I possibly do too
Just came across this epiphone James Bay edition, really like this style.
After much deliberation I'm posting this one here - I'm sure a few of you will think it belongs in the ugly thread :) I present the Hagstrom Fantomen.
Its different. What I've found is that its really hard to do something new that isn't somehow rooted in the classic shapes. This is a pretty cool attempt IMO.

That I love Hagstrom guitars has no affect on my judgement here either.
I like the shape Sonic, which one is yours the bottom pic ?
I wish, I don't think they are even available in Australia yet. I'd probably go the black or white version.
I actually went into Bandland today to see if they had one, they are asking the rep on Friday. I posted a pic of mine on the previous page, one day I'll take a photo on something other than my rubbish phone.
I love the finish on this one from Fujigen

It's like Liberace was reincarnated as a Strat!Quote:

So you've obviously seen the candelabra festooned headstock then. :)Quote:

In reparation for the bass horrors I've put on the ugly thread, cop this beauty.
That truly is a beautiful guitar, I saw that on Facebook yesterday. Not sure about the $7k price tag, especially since it's 2nd hand!!Quote:

Good grief, but that is a work of art. I would be terrified to own it. It would never get played.
this would certainly encourage neat wiring...... from ESP

Good to see no swimming pool rout under the scratch plate as is so often found on many Strat's which contributes to loss of tone.
Oh my. That is outstanding.
Mark Hatcher doesn't seem to do anything but Outstanding!Quote:

I really dig this for some reason, so understated - the lack of cutaways is pretty unusual.
