Re: NGD: Must be green guitar weekend
What's the appeal?
I've never been into these guitars. The shape is awkward, the uncovered pickups look out of place, the headstock looks "squatty," no tone control... at least throw in another volume control, please....
Like I said, just never really understood the appeal of this guitar.

Re: NGD: Must be green guitar weekend
To the above post different strokes for different folks. I build custom guitars and everyone has their own individual needs. What may be poison to one is a dream axe to another. Why complicate a guitar with a bunch of things it doesn't need is likely the approach of only having a master volume knob. Not every guitarist likes using multiple volumes or tone knobs. So obviously if you are after a more traditional looking guitar with a traditional gibson 4 knob electronic layout than this probably won't be your cup of tea but that doesn't make this guitar unusable or unappealing to others.
I happen to love this particular new guitar (I may be biased since green happens to be my favorite color, and the color of many of my personal guitars).

The previous owner of this guitar was a clever fellow who did add a push/pull to split the coils. That gives me some of the versatility I enjoy in my Super Sports with the stripped down ethos of the Axis.
Great necks and great tone. Some folks are willing to forego a bit of versatility if the tones that are offered are just what they're looking for.
