I love Buckethead :)
When I first saw this guitar, I thought that this is the kind of superstrat Buckethead would want for himself :) But looks are not the only thing that holds this guitar in place. Low weight, excellent ergonomics, high quality components and electronics! And great sound. I use it all the time on recordings. Moreover, it can give out excellent clear sound. The only thing to get used to is pickup switching. I am seriously thinking in the future to collect these wonderful guitars in different colors: black, red and blue.
