Tim would like this

OK, it's left-handed. And it's a guitar. But otherwise, I think Tim wouldn't be able to resist. It's a Fernandes Vertigo X (a bit like Liberty X but not as high up). Have you ever seen anything so black? I kindof lose focus just trying to look at it. You couldn't adjust the volume in mid-gig, surely?

The Vertigos they made for that chap who plays in Rob Zombie's band (I forget his name now) didn't even have a volume control - just an ON/OFF switch.

apart from the obstructed fret access, it looks better suited for a right hand player, if a lefty was holding it, then to me it would look odd.
Nice looking guitar though.

Wow, want one! It's black in all the right places (although the finish looks a bit glossy :D

You get used to finding your knob in the dark, at least I did:

Looks like (as on mine) the back of the neck is maple but its a fair sacrifice for playability.

I thought you'd mention the gloss. A pity, also, that they wouldn't stump up the extra for a good, ebony fretboard. Then it would be a complete, naked singularity. Stephen Hawking could write a chapter on it.
