Looks like a bargain to me. I wonder how it sounds. I'll bet you get alot of variation with two p90s.

Previously discussed here. I don't think there are a lot of them out there yet.

There seem to be these 3 Models now. All have the 2 P-90s and the active electronics.

There is a youtube clip of someone playing one.

Here he is playing Sleepwalk:

Sounds good, but he has a lot of processing going on.

Beautiful guitar though.

Jim tx for the links. Cool sound. Sounds like both pickups are on for that phased sizzle.
hmm..."Sleepvolk" sounds German not Chinese. Ain't the world homogenizing.
