Wow, the want is strong for this one. Acoustic V's are just cool.
Any idea on price?

Good specs too. The guitar will sound real rich and warm with the mahogany.

It is expected to go on sale soon with a price of around $3,732.
Crap, count me out! Looks really cool though.

I should've played guitar instead of drums. As a song writer it's been incredibly difficult to get guitarists to work on my ideas. However, seeing this makes me want to learn to at least strum chords!

erg i get you. i not good at any instrument but drums are the only thing i could fake being ok at. I always hear songs when i play, i think its a great way to write songs. You got to learn guitar too to realize what you want.

Pick up a guitar, you'll enjoy it. You could be like Scott Ian!

I am not sure about the acoustic sweetness of a carved body mahogany V. But it does look cool. Looks like they are building it similar to a Gibson metropolitan or the Carvin 645 . They take a chunk of mahogany rout it completely out then drop a solid top on it. There using a Graphtech Ghost piezo saddle. Great system by the way, you can use that on a broom stick and it sounds good.
For over three grand they should have put regular pickups in it and the Graphtech Ghost piezo, then you would have had something really special.

Totally stupid & impractical. For that kinda ca$h, get yourself a Godin or a Maton. If it was a couple of hundred dollars, maybe as a gimmick, but $3,732. Paul shove it up your ass with the rest of the those unsold over-sized Monster Photo Books. I find the price quite insulting.

I actually don't like the star tailpiece. Looks out of place. Just some ferrules would have bee more classy.
