Those are so cool! I've heard some say they are ugly but I say they're beautiful. I've been looking at these myself but never played one. How do they sound and are they short scale? Nice one, Peewee. Cool

Another vote for NOT ugly! I think they’re super cool, and hard to argue with a pair of horseshoes. Nice guitar.

I'll admit I never loved the look of them so much...I don't even know why! But with the partial bakelite construction and horseshoes I bet they sound great!

Check out this thread for some pics of Jules Ah See playing one:
