That's a bit harsh, and not even relevant.

The black guitar with the whateverthefuckyouwannacallthosesquiqqly lines looks like it would belong to that teddy guy with all the facial tattoos.

The lower one - looks cool but I'd prefer a different trem system or fixed bridge ... and a relocation of the tone/volume knobs.
The pick up configuration is a tad odd as well. Dirty Fingers and a P 90 with a 3 way selector?
Looks cool in red though, I'll give it that.

id be into this one if it were like $500. no way id pay gibson price for it though.
and thats basically the config my sg has... high output ceramic 500T in bridge, P94 in neck

If you look up Paul R. Smith guitars when he was making them at home, the pin striping on the black one looks just like his work.
The red one is decent.........
The trem system looks like a 8th month abortion gone bad.
I hate the way the inlays start out at the first fret being square edged, but at the highest frets, they're rounded.
If you hold your hand over the body, it looks like a Gibson.
Hold it over the neck, it looks like a Shechter.
Ultimately, need to know what the neck feels like and how it plays.............

No they aren't; they're all square-edged

At least the Schecter tempest comes in other finishes at probably 1/3 of the price tag.

if it wasn't semi hollow, I'd almost think it was worth not bashing

Thought this ^^^ was some kind of new Kerry King sig on first glance.

Don't mind the shape though. Would like to see a burst with binding w/ a fixed bridge.

Even if I had the money, I'm not buying one. Not until they change that bridge.
