Looks cool, but will only appeal to a few collectors so if you decide to sell it later it might be a tough sell. I think if you can get it for $2K that would be nice. Much more, and you better really want that guitar bad!

Without decent sized pics it's difficult to tell. I can't even see what the graphic is.

kinda looks like a jellyfish. either that or a nebula /space scene? interesting if this was a small run build. It looks more like a one off custom

that one is definately unique. I actually like the look of the paint job a lot! I would say, with a custom paint job, 24 frets, back-loaded, dual hum, and OFR with abalone cross inlays, that thing is pretty fuckin loaded.

it would sell EASILY for 2k right now if it is in good condition, and I would not be surprised at all if it sold for considerably higher than that.

That's certainly unusual. 24 fret RR with OBLs, cross inlays, blade switch and a unique graphic. But it's not gonna appeal to everyone and I certainly wouldn't want to pay a high price for it as an investment. The 24 fret RR Alexi fanboys won't like the graphic. The blade switch will put people off. The graphic will appeal to some and be hated by others...

Pricing is so difficult to call on something like that, because of the unusual specs and the graphic, but especially in the current economic circumstances. I'd say 2k wasn't a rip off, but I wouldn't want to pay that much for it.

A spirofuckinggraph?

Yeah, wierd paint job that might not appeal to the masses.

Ask yourself, would you wear it on stage?

Yes, spirograph, thank you. It reminds me of that. And, the inlays remind me of Christ. Spirograph and The Lord.

Released in the states in 1966, hmm!
