Well if that's all it plays, I don't want one. Never was a Jacko fan anyway

ill get some pix soon

its really pretty different than standard stuff

other diffs are....

-no tone knob, but replaced with the input jack
-no neck route at all
-the funky 3 way that sounds like a HB split 3 ways (dont think i ever saw that)
-actually looks like a NICE HB, and really sounds great, especially thru a tube amp
(now im sure the pup can be swapped, but...why?)
-and the neck seems smaller/thinner, kinda 80's bullet-esque

...and picturing Avril playing this is not a bad thing

Is it the old one with the checkerboard pick guard or the new one with the skull-and-crossbones inlay? I like the new one better with it's black-on-black detailing, but they're both not bad looking teles.

I'd happily have one - interesting spec tele.

Not sure I'd easily live with the Avril logo inlay in the fretboard though, but even that is not un-fixable - one way or the other ;)

It looks interesting, and not in any bad kind of way.

I really kind of like that look. As far as the tone, if it suits what you're looking for, it's great. Personally, I wouldn't mind giving one a try. I've heard interesting things (good and bad) about it, and I'd love to give it a chance myself. I don't criticize anything someone else is looking for in tone. It's all a personal choice.

Congrats on a great guitar!

This guitar looks awesome. They finally made one just like I would do it up. I don't think I could build it for $279 either, gonna have to get this!

I like it, and would play it. It looks cool. Might hold back on a 'Hello Kitty' strat though.

why bother with a 3 way switch for just 1 pickup?
