Looks like a schecter, the headstock looks weird on a modern shape, like they built a Lamborghini and put model T bumpers on it...

geez Wayne!

this looks nothing like PRS. Its a well proportioned shape that is not a direct copy of anything Ithat I can recall). Controls are well positioned. High fret access is good. Looks like it will balance well.

I like it.

Reminds me of the ASH Aurum shape, is it a carve or flat top?
If I was gonna get a Gibbo it'd be a LP

Yeah, that sums it up for me, too. If a design was any more "meh" it would kill people.

And it's a like from me too. :thumbup:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

That's effing nice! I want one. It's a nice change from their 50's designed stuff that gets rehashed every year.

I did like it, but as someone on FB pointed out: why the hell make it 24 frets when the neck access is so shite you can't even reach em?

Neck access looks fine for 24th fret playing to me.

Could maybe use a little scallop there like an SG.
