interesting indeed. A modern take on an old design. Cool 8)

It got me thinking towards a eb/mm bongo bass, must be the horn, i think.
The top is really nice and price aint too bad either. Wonder how well it will fare against other guitar.

me? I wonder if they'll be sued by Gibson. :roll:

Even though I use a Parker, I dislike this design. i Think the Yamaha LP-style guitar (think is AES series, don't quote me on that) look much better.

Really ugly... But the top is nice.

Seem like quite a number of guitar people are into traditional guitars design that came out in the 50s/60s. New design/new design based on older design are frowned upon usually.

Personally, i do find the parker single cut looks quite ok. Not too bad at all. At least it didnt look like this

 

[Lifehouse]

Haha.. I think the bass looks better IMO.

I still can't get over the fact that the BMW design team came up with that for Musicman... :wink:

Wonder what would happen had Mercs done it for them instead. It would be platinium and the pickguard wld look like...

haha, if its mercs, i think it shud not look like a toilet bowl cover at all :lol:
