Wow, Love it? Hate it? I realy can't tell.
These guitar seems more like a demonologist stuff than mad scientist one.
I am sure it can play by itself.

The Bass is an original Burns Weill, but the two guitars are project builds from NOS bodies and (sorry Jon!) they aren't QUITE right. They are mostly accurate they've been matched with shorter scale necks than the 25'' originals, which makes things look a bit 'off' to me.

Here's an original one.

(sorry I can't embed it, can't get the hang of photobucket on a mac!)

Planning a build myself- this is basically exactly the same guitar as my Fenton Weill super streamline but with a different upper bout...love the flintstones look of it!

The mockingbird isn't ugly, it just looks ridiculous on anyone who plays one.

I LOVE that tailpiece/tremolo system. Looks like it would work lefty or righty with the trem arm hole in between the 3rd and 4th strings...

I tend to prefer leaner, meaner looking guitars so a lot of flashy stuff usually turns me off, but I might be able to get used to this. It has dots instead of blocks which helps a lot, and that pickup combo...
