It really depends, If you are a decent guitar player then i would say get it. But you don't wanna buy anything quality unless your actually gunna use it. Its your money though so whatever

For being a nOOb you sure do know how to pick a guitar. Prototype guitars are some of the best to get, because they are made to play great, be flashy, and be quality made to impress the company into mass making them.

After reading and looking at that guitar and the others that are being sold I would bet at least 1,000 USD. It really is a nice guitar, not to say that it is #1 of its kind. Others; bolt on necks, less quality, cheaper parts; might be made later but having #1 prototype can end up being priceless later. Just make sure that this is indeed the prototype and get it in writing. The makers will be proud to put their names on the line if it really is that great of a guitar. I would be.

I would, no shit, bid at least 1k USD on that guitar. Its got great specs and it does look great. The only thing I don't like about it is the headstock shape, but that is just crazy to not have a guitar because its not a cool shape or color. If you want a great guitar with the color and shape you want then get a custom made one, but that cost.

Either way, all that for $700.00 USD is a very nice deal.

Well in that case. Congratulations on your purchase. Treat it good-ly and someday it could be worth a pretty penny.

I meant no disrespect, but that X kinda makes it look less appealing. If you didn't read my entire post, I just said I like the specs and think it looks great. Just not the 'x'

It'd be the one and only thing to turn me off of the guitar. And thats hardly enough reason not to get it given the specs its got for the price on it.
