Rate or slate?

Not seen or heard one of these in the flesh, but the double cutaways look cool.

POTR carries 'em. They're extremely comfortable to play due to the contour on the back, I don't think I've ever plugged one in though.

I can try one out for you if you like. There are three or so of them for sale at my local shop. The price tag was the only thing stopping me from playing one. :lol:

Yeah, they just above the Ric 360/12 price range over here, but the reviews they're getting all over the place are fabulous, and with nothing new and exciting likely to come out of Santa Ana for some time yet, I could be tempted.
For that amount of cash i really need to get my hands on one and try it myself first. :)

I've got one. It's easily one of the best (and priciest) guitars that I've played/owned. It's got all of the sounds that I could want in one guitar. I don't think that I could find a negative to say about mine. It is supremely comfortable and the pickups do everything from thin Strat to thick 335. If you want some more info/pics, let me know.

Well then, you have enough time to save up and buy it as a birthday gift to yourself. :mrgreen:

Mine is the white version of the double cutaway, as pictured.

Chris at Pick of the Ricks has a very minty used one in stock below the prices mentioned. This guitar is very innovative and very high quality. I think the Vox name on the headstock scares some people off, they remember the low quality Italian imports of yesteryear!
