It has a lot of promise, but the funky “design” behind the tailpiece and the odd headstock (with matching pick guard) kinda put me off. Also the inconsistent fret markers look weird. Pick one design and use it all the way, guys. Very nice guitar, but it could use some “smoothing” around the rough edges of the design. IMHO
