This is even more uninspiring than the plain RG I joked about earlier, and that's quite a feat. Actually scratch that, the body shape is so ugly it will inspire negative feelings. What the hell...

not really into free bashing, but where's the sleek look of the caparison ? The design look really goofy, really disappointed on this...

Stay at home musician
Kind of unsurprising at this point to see all the hate / attitude towards him around here, but oh well...
I love Freak Kitchen and like his solo stuff (basically Freak Kitchen but more experimental / less poppy), but even then I wouldn't buy one of those. No way.
But I guess the VAST majority of the people who listens to his music are guitar players anyway (if not every one of them), and many of them go to his clinics, buy his lessons, etc., so some maybe will. Who knows.

This thread made me pull out my Horus and fall back in love with it @Wildebeest

I love IA's playing, I even thought the Applehorn was kind of cool in a quirky way, but this is just hideous. It looks like one of those goofy Hufschmid things, really rough and amateurish in appearance.
Maybe the SG horn vibes are intentional, at least based on the other Gibson-esque specs on the 6 string like 24.75" scale (though the Applehorn 6 and Horus have this as well) and 12" fretboard radius.
I'm surprised he switched from DiMarzio D-Activators to Lundgrens, but it makes sense based on the Swedish thing.
That being said - Not a fan of this design
I still maintain the Applehorn was sick though:

I would just like to let everyone know that IA played a guest solo on this and it rips.
Needlefeast as well!
Absolute top tier playing.
While I'm at it, another guest solo of his:

I know FK gets a lot of hate for being goofy and kinda generic rock at times
But when everyone gets to rip, they fucking rip. Some of his best solos on those albums. Killer drum work too.

I like how the swedish music scene was so tight-knit that each band would always have that one guy do a solo on their albums.
Reminds me of Chris Amott doing several solos for In Flames.

I just noticed the description on his site says the TT gives “perfect intonation across the entire fretboard” which is continuing to misrepresent what this TT actually does.

They are not known outside of Japan although a few people in the US have heard of their basses.
An outfit called Zanshin records booked those NAMM tables and represented quite a few Japanese brands trying to break into the US market.

I like his music and he also seems like a super cool dude. but this guitar looks like guitars I would draw when I was first learning to draw in the 3-4th grade. Clumsy, bloated and really goofy looking.
