Premier Guitar have a page with photos of Messe items...

I came across this:

and it made me think of this (white top left):

Yep, me too. Neither is a particularly attractive instrument, though.

Soultool's name is also unappealing--"Switchbitch"...Bleccchhh!

Yeah, that guitar's name is silly, alright... hah hah!

I always wondered what the story behind the weird angle cut of that white guitar was, why made them test the looks of such a design... I mean, a drwaing would show it looks rather weird - the Soultool is a bit better looking in that respect, but maybe because the form is slightly less unconventional?

Kind of industrial strength too. Perhaps just the photo.

Hey, they're swiss, Peter

There are a few more interesting looking guitar where one can switch pick-ups without a problem, still these swiss people came to a design which was kind of already tried, and very boring

Switchblade? They really missed the point on this one. They should have added a bunch more pickups, interchangeable necks and maybe even a corkscrew...

I'm surprised nobody said anything about the Nick Page "singer-songwriter" guitar after looking at that Musikmesse page, which seems to be bordering on RIC trademark infringement for body styling. I seem to remember that being an issue from reading other threads here, but maybe I'm not remembering the details properly.

It's also strange that Nick Page just made a custom bass for Lemmy...

Maybe it's not an issue because it's a German company?

I guess if it was an issue RIC would have had something to say about the Schecter Stargazer bass.
