Someone buy it before I do. And I really can't. So let me live through you.

Re: I want this

That looks like something from the 70's, but not in a cool way. Its ugly.
 
Re: I want this

oh my gosh... i like! but too expensive. no strat should ever be over 450$ unless it has a koa body or lacewood or similar, and a cocobolo, ebony or pau ferro neck (or similar!). the NECK, not the fretboard. that should be matching, ofcourse.
 
Re: I want this

I like the colour of the body, but the scratchplate and the triple chrome 'buckers kills it for me.
 
Re: I want this

I love the color. Hate the ugly PG with big white stars.

But here's the deal...

It's NOT new, as he has advertised, (he even admits to using it for 4 hours in the studio, which means he actually played it for 20-30 hours);
It's a DIY put together with Mexican parts, (he even admits that he put it together);
It has a useless middle hummer,
There are nicks/chips in the paint,
The guy's charging nearly twice what a new mim Strat costs, and he says this..."price is fantastic", and tries to justify it by saying, "...the cost of building is higher than the listed price".

The guy is a total liar and a jerk. He made a guitar, realized that he did a bad job and it doesn't sound good, so he's trying to sell it with lots of lies.

Who would even want to Orpheo this one?!

Gamera...just bite your tongue and let it pass. This one's no good. Just because it's a beautiful color doesn't make it a good buy.

Yeah, after I posted this I saw that Ozzy vid that Jolly posted. After watching that for an hour and a half I had sobered up and forgot all about this until the morning. I still like the looks of it but at that price it clearly isn't going to happen.
 
Re: I want this

+1. And when are guys going to learn that a middle HB is just about useless.

Yes, although my 3 pup Black Beauty LOOKS as cool as hell. :) Think Im gonna finally rewire it as an HH guitar after 16 years though...

I thought that was the point. I think it's mostly about looks rather than tonal versatility. I don't even care for middle single coils. They have very little character IMO and I've never been much for quacking.
