The headstock is awful at any price.

Q. What is this guitar?

A. Disgusting.

I wonder how much of the price is Josh Homme tax?

Sorry... I don't get it. Not my bag...

I had a Hofner President with that very pattern tail piece. 
But OMG that headstock is f**k ugly ... blurgghhhhh

NelsonP

Agreed on the headstock. So, fix the headstock, drop the price to about 1/10th and all is good.

Next!

Looks like one of those unsuccessful 1970s Les Paul (ish) offset hollows thats somewhere between a LP, 335 and a starcaster. Was it the LP Signature goldtop?


Yep heres one

Just add a trap tailpiece and move the switch to the lower bout.

Not sure, but you can have my Maton MS2000 for a hell of a lot less

You could have several of these for that money ... and they're prettier

Presumably it’s light weight and shape make it easier for kicking female journos in the chops with?

Same goes for all their models. Putting ugly back into guitar....

Company decal reminds me of 1970's Letraset font.....naff. They seem to be one of those builders that appeared from nowhere and instantly started charging like a wounded Rhino. Pass.

Just about every curve on that is ugly ... that lower cutaway just looks like a bandsaw mistake.

I like that, just the headstock that bothers me.
