So, I'm not personally interested in these (they're not lefty for starters) but I'd like to make an observation about the bitching and the bitching about the bitching...
It seems like the people who are bitching about the bitching are treating this board like it is one entity, as though the entire board thinks with one mind. So far, we've seen people who want this, people who want it and can't afford it, and people who think the price/specs/whatever aren't appealing. Now, before bitching about the bitching, some of you may want to consider that individuals that fall into that latter category may or may not even be individuals who were creaming themselves at the prospect of owning a Meshuggah sig in the first place. Now, I'm not saying that whining isn't annoying or that people aren't fickles shitheads, I'm just saying that maybe people should think things through and apply some logic before getting bent out of shape.
Except Korn have pretty much always had this image of, "They'll probably play whatever's put in front of them, as long as it has 7 strings." Whereas people view Meshuggah's guitars as being built from pieces of the ark of the covenant or some shit. So, it was a lot more viable to put out a Korn sig that was lower end; it didn't fuck with the image.

You know what's really funny, I remember having this same discussion regarding Korn back in the day.![]()
