The neck is the really amazing part. A guy I used to know who built lutes used to talk about wanting to do something just like this.

Makes that Clapton Cream-era SG painted for him by The Fool look like a model of restraint and subtlety by comparison....

Me likely.
On my planet that is a conservative traditional look.
It's birch laminate. It looks like they are looking at alternative building materials and construction.

I kind of like the new designs and probably would for a little while. Then the novelty would most likely wear off. The one thing that I don't like right off the bat is that there are no fretboard position markers.

I could see a dude in a reggae band groovin on one. The guy playing guitar for the Wailers last time I saw them was on a SG. But no fretboard markers would be a drag.

Sorry for the thread hijack, but do you guys really depend that much on inlays on the front of the fretboard? The dots on the side of the fretboard are important to me, but I don't really notice the markers on the front. I've always kind of thought they were there for the benefit of guitarists in my audience.

You bet I do. But I am still relatively new at all this. Nonetheless, I definitely need them.
