The Maserati's of the guitar world. Don't like the headstock. The whole guitar is a bit too slick. I'm liking the Bigsby trem though!!

Anyone know what woods they're using on these?

The fretboard looks to be modeled after a Gibson Chet Atkins...Ebony, perhaps,  with those cool dot markers!

I love the sound of humbuckers with an ebony board...

That looks pretty intriguing...

I think the only thing I don't like are the aluminum dots.  I like the design and placement of them, though.

Sounds kind of like a Gibson meets Jazzmaster thing, with the offset body and the humbuckers + ebony and mahogony/maple woods...I bet it sounds good!
