:k

That just isn't nice at all. Never been a fan of guitars like that. Alot of the charm guitars have comes from the finish and the colours. Clear guitars just look tacky imo.

Those are made by Aria, I checked into getting one when my shop was an Aria dealer but they weren't available in the US.

I kinda like it actualy. Ever since I saw Dave Grohl with a perspex dan electro I have thought wow about them. Alltough I do agree some perspex guitars look a bit tacky this one gets my thumbs up on looks at least!

I just can't shake the feeling that they look cheap and nasty. They just look like a toy.

I don't really trust the plastic to wood glue joint for the headstock.  If it was an all wood neck I would try to find one...  Always was an armstrong fan. A jazzmaster shape?  Hell yeah!
May God bless the Banjo Players... They try so hard...

it's a nice guitar..sometimes it appears in the guitar forums..
In the dream's world I think I would have great fun in swapping the neck with a proper wood one and routing it for a JM/jag tremolo/bridge system... ::)

What's the point when you can only see some humbuckers, a neck, wiring and a bridge?

If you had a tin foil-wrapped cucumber in your pants, I guess it would be visible through this guitar... :D
