| I think It looks pretty cool way nicer than a dean dimebag.It would be ridiculous if it had a "relic finish" now thats ridiculous. |

| I bet it's neck heavy like an SG you need a wide strap or It'll want to point to the floor. My Hi Flyer does it too. |

Jesus! Not that bad really, but probably a bit neck-heavy�.
I wonder if Fenders answer will be a reversed tele�

see, i like the bridge and the headstock, but i think the shape kind of removes the whole benefit of the v shape to begin with. I agree though, it does look very unbalanced, but maybe they know something we don't...
I actually thought of a reverse telecaster! It got me thinking of other reverse shapes that might work, but to not limit neck access they would have to be quite spikey or you'd only get to the twelfth fret... |

| I think they may have gotten the reverse V idea from a Judas Priest video. I think it might be Breakin the Law, if not that, something from around that era. In the video I am thinking of, a cop plays a cardboard cut out during the guitar solo, and its a reverse V. |

This isn't really a new thing. When Semie mosrite made the Ventures guitar(or HiFlyer prototype as I like to think of it) he took a strat body blank flipped it over and attached every thing to the back of it.Reverse strat circa. 1962 Semie Mosrite worked for Paul Bigsby who designed the Merle Travis guitar which is the design that Leo Fender ripped for the telecaster, broadcaster(oops ripped this name from epiphone,let's try)nocaster series along with the now famous strat head stock shape. Turns out Fender and Fullerton had the better lawyer and Paul Bigsby lost the law suit and went out of buisiness. Mosrite started his own company but couldn't match Fenders production output and definately couldn't match Gibson's quality or the onslaught of cheap, good quality japanese guitars.
