A link came up on my Facebook feed. I don’t have a question, just thought it was an interesting curio, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before. And that headstock looks,well, awful.

I think the headstock is OK but the upper body horn is awful.

It’s still not as bad as a Firebird X though.

Well they do say hindsight is 20/20.. The 1980s have a lot to answer for. 

EDIT: also that headstock is just bizarre. I don't hate the shape to look at (in context of the whole instrument..), but the setup means the strings are all in the wrong order

Looks a lot like a Westone Quantum

Actually the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of a Millimetric - or the other way round, since the Gibson came first - and the upper horn isn't *that* bad.

Headstock reminds me of Zachary guitars.

I've not seen one of those before.

I quite like it though. It's different!

I think I have seen a picture of one before, but it had been erased from my memory.

The headstock is just awful.  It's as if the original neck got lost and someone designed and made their own replacement in their garden shed.  And the nut and tuners are so horribly crude-looking they're making me quite upset.

That's either awesome or terrible. Nowhere in-between. I can't quite decide which...
