That guitars funky almost like a childs guitar with the coloured numbers on LOL they kinda put me off but the rest looks kinda cool.

Posted by: kebsis Oct 29 2008, 10:40 PM

Posted by: besip Oct 29 2008, 10:43 PM

That is so cool. I hope the proceeds go to finding a cure for him, he deserves it!
Rock on Jason!

OMG, that is one of the ugliest guitars I've seen guys, no offense intended of course, I'm sure it is great in quality.

Posted by: Smells Oct 30 2008, 01:29 PM

that was pretty much my thoughts, although, I dunno, theres something about it that makes it almost appealing

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 30 2008, 01:54 PM

I'm not sure if this is the ugliest... but I agre that it isn't so nice....

Posted by: audiopaal Oct 30 2008, 01:59 PM

It's kinda... happy

Posted by: Sigfridsson Oct 30 2008, 02:11 PM

I can't more than agree, I imagine that if you had a five year old design a guitar, it would come out something like that as well!

However just like you said, no doubt it's a great quality guitar!

I will have to get hold of the new CD but not the guitar

Posted by: Tuubsu Oct 30 2008, 04:22 PM

You guys sound CRAZY!!!

That's honestly like the coolest guitar I've EVER seen!!!
OH man If I would just have enough money for that Deluxe-package...

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Oct 30 2008, 04:26 PM

hhahahaha what a funny looking guitar ! Reminds me of LEGO bricks

Posted by: Ramiro Delforte Oct 30 2008, 04:36 PM

Very colorful

Posted by: Gerardo Siere Oct 30 2008, 05:49 PM

Can´t wait for the Ren & Stimpy's Happy Happy Joy Joy model signature.

Posted by: fatb0t Oct 30 2008, 07:18 PM

Reminds me of cheesy guitars of days past (namely late 80s early 90): http://www.mtvmusic.com/video/?id=9128 Case and point

Posted by: kebsis Oct 30 2008, 07:44 PM

Not only a CD but supposedly there is a Jason Becker movie in the works but don't hold me to it. All this info is from Jason's MySpace and he isn't even too sure about the movie.

I like how the frets are numbered actually, very retro. However the color scheme just doesnt work with that wood finish, I would have done a dark blue finish with light blue numbers more like the actual original.

It is a nice guitar despite the fact that it looks like a bolt neck but it seems to have excellent Di Marzio pick ups.

Posted by: berko Oct 30 2008, 07:44 PM

Ugly... but on the other hand: SO COOL.

The pickups indeed look like LEGOs...

Posted by: kebsis Oct 30 2008, 07:47 PM

I dont like the head too much, its too small for what they were going for.

Posted by: Mrblomme Nov 2 2008, 11:01 PM

OMG the numbers on the fretboard ...

Posted by: Jeff Nov 3 2008, 07:25 PM

To this day, I still have never heard a more ridiculously undecipherable guitar lead in all my life. From the very first time I heard it, I seriously thought it was a joke. Then I saw the video. I can't believe this guy would even release something like that. A prime example of what MTV promotes. Not to mention that the song itself makes no sense. And, yeah, Vernon Reid is over rated and his picking technique looks like something that came from a Cracker Jack box. (wow, I've always wanted to get that off my chest - sorry for the off topic rant!)

As far as Jason Becker's guitar, and as much as I love Jason Becker, it's almost "Hello Kitty" like. But, I would still like to have one.

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Nov 3 2008, 07:31 PM

too much colours for me

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Nov 3 2008, 07:41 PM

If you all put in a few dollars each, you could buy it for me! I think that's a brilliant idea!

Just to add to that: I really, really like the look of the guitar!

Posted by: Jeff Nov 3 2008, 07:42 PM

I'll buy you the number 1. Numbers are $1 a piece.

Posted by: SensE Nov 3 2008, 07:46 PM

This guitar is seriously LOL. It looks cool but the color and the number inlay looks like pre-school kid decoration.

Posted by: Jose Mena Nov 3 2008, 10:24 PM

Oddly enough I like it, there is something wrong with me

Posted by: superize Nov 3 2008, 10:25 PM

To be honest i think that guitar is pretty childish looking.....

Posted by: bladzerok Nov 3 2008, 10:36 PM

to much colors , but some models of this guitar company looks pretty cool, but not as cool as guitars from mann, suhr, caparison or other boutique brands that make super expensive instruments.

Posted by: Jose Mena Nov 3 2008, 10:40 PM

Yes, childish looking indeed, I know my daughter would love this guitar, I'll show it to her today, and see what she thinks, she'll probably tell me to buy it.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Mar 9 2009, 09:25 PM

And should you ever want to get rid of it, I'm right here.

Seriously though, I'm considering using some of my insurance money on that guitar.

Posted by: Trond Vold Mar 9 2009, 10:50 PM

Must have missed this thread when it was first posted!

Cant say i'm a huge fan of all the colors, but if this is how Jason wants his signature to look then i'm happy he finally got a signature out. He deserves it.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Mar 9 2009, 11:32 PM

You sound like my girlfriend there. All the guitars I want have lots of colours. Like the Petrucci Ibanez signature model as well as this Jason Becker one.

Posted by: Sircraigery Mar 9 2009, 11:48 PM

Oh man, wow. I've seen some UGLY guitars, but this is a new low. LOL

This is what the guitars would like if Nintendo Wii had originally made guitar hero. I hope he doesn't sell any, that'll learn him. haha, JK.

Is paradise a religious brand? The Rose is a total JEM ripoff I think, and for the price might as well buy a JEM.

Posted by: sted Mar 10 2009, 10:52 AM

I quite like it, its individual at least in a world full of boring ass death metal guitars that you need to look at the serial number to tell them apart, its refreshing that there are still manufacturers willing to put their reputations on the line to produce a faithful replica for what was a true pioneer of playing with a tragic story. I love anything different, in fact I am considering a road worn tele, a BFG and a dobro at the moment!

Posted by: Praetorian Mar 10 2009, 01:38 PM

$2,700? My daughter has a Fisher Price toy guitar that looks SURPRISINGLY similar to that one!

Posted by: Sensible Jones Mar 10 2009, 09:22 PM

I'd buy one, but if you can find one, the Peavey Sig model is a hella lot cheaper!!!

Posted by: Ryan Mar 10 2009, 09:35 PM

I would buy Jason Becker Sign. guitar in a heartbeat. I think the colors really give the guitar more personality, instead of just being like all the other guitars.....
