It's just a wooden Steinberger knockoff with some Ikea offcuts attached.
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.

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I think its pretty sweet. Fanned frets, classical-type headstock and check the fret marker 'dots' in the link. Interesting carve/radius in the cutaways to show off the plywood laminates (not something I would have done). Agree about the control layout, I think even having it horizontal like a traditional tele would have been better visually. But then I guess it wouldn't have physically fit on the hollow design.
Too many guitars, not enough talent.

Just needs some neons under the bodykit.

Perfect.
The thing is beautifully built; but it's just silly.
And seriously, who wants a slotted headstock; ever tried restringing those things?
