I dig it. I love Bigsby's and the Chet arm is like seventy extra bucks. Not crazy about the frosted white hardware but I even dig the scalloping and the large CBS style headstock on the right. Fender still sucks though.
 
I'm ok with the one on the right. I would at least plug it in and check it out.
Looks like they come with a B-Bender too.
Could be kinda cool for something a little different, as long as the price point isn't too crazy.
Would certainly be a change from all my other axes, that's for sure.....
 
I mean, I'd never buy it, but I'd give er a rip there bud! I have played around with a b bender a few times and it's a lot of fun. Mix that in with the scallops and Bigsby, and wacky electronics, it just sounds like you could have some fun experimenting.
 
The funky white hardware, the arm of the Bigsby, the arm rest, the dissimilar sized pickups, and the high contrast between the bright white and blue are all butt ugly as hell.

I don't mind the quirky functional aspects. It's the look that gets a hard nope from me. I'd gladly play one that was offered, but no way in hell would I buy one. I'd rather roll my own that fits my taste at that price point.

The full scallop is only done to about a fourth of the board, the treble half of the highest-fretted half of the neck. It's just real strange is all.
 
I'm not going to question anyone's taste in guitars.
Those kind of remind me of restomod 40s and 50s hotrods I used to see at car shows 20-25 years ago.

Same. The bigsby, scallops, etc are all stuff I could get down on.

Even the color scheme I could get down on if the hardware was chrome or something.

It's the combination of everything together - it's just too much stuff...and costs too much
