I played it today. Actually I should say that it's essentially unplayable for me because of how I rest my wrist.

I ended up with a late 70s / early 80s MIJ Vantage they had that played better than the squiers they had there.

I can hear the howling feedback just looking at photos of it.
Haha I would consider that a feature instead of a bug.

Literal LOL here reading this, as I was thinking "hmm, it could be GOOD feedback, right?"

Should have called it the Straddlecaster.

Holy moly. I hope it is a cynical stab at the upper-class blues crowd but the level of detail and execution leads me to believe that whoever built that thing was extremely into it.

I hope the whammy only affects the treble strings.

Hmmm. While not an attractive guitar in the conventional sense, this could almost redeem itself if it plays well. If nothing else it is unique, something most people haven't seen before.

Put a Floyd Rose on it, though, and any goodwill goes flying down the drain.
