 Looks like an acoustic guitar with a Dirty Sanchez to me... :whistle:

This thing sucks. I listed to the video again, the acoustic sounds are tinny and cheap sounding. Looks stupid, sounds bad.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I am surprised by the number of people saying it looks/sounds good tbh. But there is no accounting for taste.

I don't hate it. I would buy one for $500. But at four times that price, no.

I guess I just don't get it. It might be good for the coffeehouse gig or something, or maybe some country music arena show. I mean it might be close enough of an acoustic that it works well through a line array.

But it sure the hell isn't an acoustic guitar in any sense, can any of you imagine putting a microphone up to that in the studio?

Like I said earlier I think it has its uses. Certainly not revolutionary though, and ugly to boot.
