Should it have gone in the "All things 12 string thread", or maybe better yet in the "Compressing the dumb shit" thread, but I'll let the gear focused contingent take the piss out of this oddity and its guitar culture implications.

What world would we live in when the trail blazers of third wave ska punk, didn't have a custom, Fender, acoustic 12 string? I seriously think about this absurd marriage of factors and find it to be a sublime pairing of unlikely and stupid.

Still not as dumb as the PRS Silver Sky. (The Silver Sky is dumb shit compressed to such a density that even the Tim Armstrong Hellcat can only circle it helplessly in orbit, held in the eternal sway of a natural phenomenon so extraordinary that only a force as transcendent as John Mayer’s ego could beget it.)

I thought it looked awesome. Like a unique, modern spin on the Tulip that would potentially be sturdier. I'm into the whole look to the point that I was like "shit, if you can get an Epi version for $250, I'd try it". Then I saw that they only made 318 of them and the price is 5k.

Fuck. Them.

Fuck them.

God that shit frustrates me.

Totally great. I'm hoping demand and scale will drastically reduces their pricing though. Did you see what the only tube they are currently manufacturing costs?
I was thinking this too but looking at other sites and their listed costs for 300B tubes of overseas origin are also quite high - not like $400 high, but still very high.

so...hopefully?
