Yeah, I hear ya. In that photo it looks like a dawg.

Sometimes I see the natural and the black and just… EXCITE.

It looks pretty rad here though, no?

Looks like the bastard child of an SG and a Tele.

Looks pretty ugly. I like it!

I was thinking Tele, Gibson L6S, and G&L SC-2. Oh, and maybe one of the more FSM-forsaken eras of Harmony thrown in, too.

I'd rock the crap outta one of these if I found one for $300 or less.

I wouldn't blame you, Kosta, you're a man on a mission.

Yammie SG still singing a sweeter song in my wallet's ear late at night with the lights down low. Time will tell...
