I had one before - just for kicks and to check out a single humbucker vibe - it was man... pretty... bad! The balance was really off and the way its made, you can't really seem to get a comfortable position seated when playing palm muted stuff.

balance that bad? even with a strap sitting down?
 
No balance leh...its neck heavy. Even strapped on and standing, it neck dives.

i think that should be pretty obvious seeing as how it doesnt exactly have a 'body'.
even my martin backpacker is neck heavy, but then most of my SGs are neck heavy too and im used to it.

afterall, not often will you be flashing the devil sign, so ur hand should be on the guitar most of the time :P

Hmmm... it chugged well at least? + points? :P



I tried the Martin Backpacker before - it was surprisingly... nice for such a 'messed up' guitar!
 
I have a nomad, the ZO-3 version in sunburst

This thing has more hands on time with me than my LP. Thought of it first as a novelty item but was surprised that it can sound so good. Its a fun "pick up and go" kind of a guitar. Had to fly all the way to Parsons HK to get one. I think i got it for 540sgd last January.
