I tried one and wasn't impressed. the sound wasn't anywhere near as good as our guitarist's Les Paul Custom, and the suistain was a little lacking.
I have always thought the more there is on a guitar, the more there is to go wrong during a gig.
Seems it's just another "gimmick" guitar, released in small numbers at a stupid price, that some folks will be mug enough top buy because they have too much money and not enough brains.

I think American guitars are getting towards rip-off prices these days, (don't get me wrong, I love 'em!), and for the same sort of money, you can go to a good guitar builder and have something made to your exact specifications - It's what I did, and my '76 Fender Precision hasn't been out of its case in years. I thought it was good, but it just didn't compare, and I've since had another bass made.
