It is a beautiful axe and it sounds fantastic.

Kinda expensive, tho!

Kinda expensive, tho!

Definitely not on my shopping list though I would love to own it if there were any way.

I don't know what kind of band that would look 'right' in, but I'd like to hear them.

Same here!

Honestly, I wanted to hate it at first, but it's actually pretty dang cool and unique! Good job, Fender!

 

[Mincer]

Honestly, it really isn't my style, but I want Fender to come out with crazy ideas like this, so I can support the effort.

Aight. I'mma head out.

Looks nice, and Yuri is a great builder. I dig the Trons and interchangeable bridge saddle. Might be just the guitar for ambient psychobilly.

Still nowhere near as expensive as a Stradivarius, and not vegan either .

Looks goofy to me. Strong '60s Conrad guitar vibe:

Sounds pretty awesome in the demo though.

That said, I still prefer Scatter Lee's (from TDPRI) Scattervarius - stronger viol vibe (though with Fender, it kinda has to be an F shape). He's built a couple.
