Hey Goatis, ... do you have details on the "mentos" guitar that you posted? (above) ... it has me seriously intrigued (especially with some potential build ideas) but yet I've been unsuccessful in trying to track it down online, myself

The only person I've met who has played a Starcaster said it was awful. But he also hated humbuckers, so that might have been part of it.

OK. So some of you know that I'm a bassist and that I would like to build a 6 string fretless after I get some more kit experience under my belt. But when I see a gorgeous weapon like the Ibanez BTB 6F it just makes me wanna go out and buy it.

The brand new Musicman John Petrucci model "The Majesty". I reckon this one will be one of those love it or hate it things, but man oh man, I love it.
