<div class="bbWrapper">Hmmm....there&#039;s something vaguely familiar about this guy: <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.myrareguitars.com/galaxiecustom.html" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.myrareguitars.com/galaxiecustom.html</a><br /> <br /> <br /> Another view, w/some different paintjobs:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.myrareguitars.com/DiPinto.html" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.myrareguitars.com/DiPinto.html</a><br /> <br /> <br /> Kinda like the Tele meets Les Paul mad scientist vibe of the Axis, but with a louder, sparklier collision! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /><br /> <br /> <br /> (Disclaimer: Provided for entertainment/amusement purposes only. PurpleSport is not a DiPinto rep and is not affiliated with the seller, nor is he trying to decrease sales of EBMM guitars, which he thinks the world needs far more of!!)</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Those are apparently the pickup selector switches! Note the lack of a 5-way...<br /> <br /> (I like the general idea of these, but gawd, that headstock is butt-ugly - no danger of anyone confusing THAT with anyone else&#039;s brand. Pretty much diminishes any chance that I&#039;d ever get one, though...)</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I agree PS...LOL...thought the guitar was sort of cool until the whole picture popped in and there was that butt ugly headstock looking back at me...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I KNOW THAT GUITAR!!!<br /> <br /> It belongs to Daddy-O of Los Straitjackets. They are my favorite band. Instrumental Surf / Rockabilly. Check &#039;em out if you get a chance: <a href="http://www.straitjackets.com" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">www.straitjackets.com</a><br /> <br /> --scottie</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I agree that the headstock&#039;s a bit much, but the guitar&#039;s very cool... Might be cool to grab something like that used off ebay and drop a Warmoth EB/MM-alike neck on it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yeah, Los Straitjackets are way cool. I got to seem them on their last tour. So good, I saw &#039;em twice. They have a goofy choreographed moves to go along with their songs as well. And they only speak to the audience in Spanish eventhough they are from Tennessee (it has a little &#039;twang&#039; to it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile :-)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /><br /> <br /> They remind me a little of the Ventures and they are apparently big Link Wray fans themselves as they cover a few of his songs. I think most guitar enthusiasts will find something about their music to like because the guitar is the main focus of that type of music.<br /> <br /> Be sure to check out their &quot;Tel Star esque&quot; version of Celine Dion&#039;s My Heart Will Go On&quot; (from Titanic). Their Christmas CD is a hoot too. Rudolf combine with La Bamba never sounded so good.<br /> <br /> --scottie</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I can&#039;t believe I haven&#039;t heard these guys before. Now I gotta go on an CD-buying binge again.</div>
