Thought some of you might be into these.

SB-Zero

SB-Zero Variant? This is so damn cool. The matte grey guard totally makes it.

Ehmm... yes! I have no reason to buy new guitars but I really like how they look.
Really like those headstocks too, which is odd because I tend to hate the look of headstocks that aren't the usual well known designs.
Maybe it's because they remind me a bit of old guyatone headstocks.

I’m a big fan of the headstocks as well.

I like the dark blue one with the Charlie Christian pickup, that's a beauty.

I'm not a fan of relic jobs on guitars that didn't exist long enough ago to have aged, though. I've accepted relic jobs on Fenders and Gibsons because you see enough old ones in the wild for it to be less jarring visually, but it's just weird to see super-distressed hardware on something that has only been around for a handful of years (like an off-brand JM/telecaster hybrid, when even the partscasters that started the trend only popped up what, 10 years ago?).

Dope knobs. Cool Guya-style headstock.

some of them really look nice :)

I really don't need another Jazzmaster but where can you get them and how much will they cost?


edit: nevermind, just had a look online... they really aren't cheap...

nice interpretation of an offset telecaster. i don't think i'd reach for this for surf music, but i want one.

headstock is lovely though. blue w/ matching headstock
one is especially nice looking, but the green one is gorgeous

I had a Bacchus mustang copy and it was high quality for what I paid. I'm sure these are killer too
