The closest thing I've seen to this one would be the Paul Stanley signature, but there's a few differences (the logo on the headstock, knobs) etc.

Any feedback is appreciated :)

That's Tim Smith of the Cardiacs (and many others) by the way; stellar musician :)

also this guy builds some great-looking carl thompson replicas: http://adamstonebasses.com/index.htm

les claypool's walnut carl thompson bass http://www.ctbasses.com/images/Walnutpics.jpg you don't see many basses with kahler's on them (let alone a piece of maple on the headstock signed by geddy lee)

that's what i mean yeah :)

in terms of the edge, his would probably be his gibson explorer, and that's been through quite a lot over the years, which would undoubtedly give gibson more to recreate!

the ones that come to mind at the moment for me (i'll probably add some more later)

Rabea Massaad is the guitarist from Dorje, Rob's band. They are currently recording their first album. Here's their "hit":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkJrBBD3xpE

This company have been getting quite a significant amount of press in the last few years, in part due to their "collaborative design" designing scheme, in which a lot of guitar players collectively design a lot of the guitars that eventually get released by the company (what woods, pickups, bridge systems etc to use) through mediums such as youtube comments. They have also gotten praise for their high quality guitars at an affordable price (in part because they don't pay a third party distributor).

However, these guitars still seem to divide quite a lot of people (I don't really mind them myself). I'm basically interested to see what the people on Equipboard think.
