That is just about the only modern guitar shape I've ever seen that I really like. If they gave it a few more unique features or a neat wiring scheme to set it apart from all the other HH Gibson style guitars out there, it could kick off as a successful instrument design.
If that guitar made an appearance on a popular TV show or ended up in the hands of a couple of influential guitar players, we could end up seeing more of it.
