crushed..maybe.
but saved...for sure.

Crushed, but saved.
I like that.
With regards to endorsements, I'm sure some of us bought stuff because of endorsements. Yes, Dimebag's Dimebolt, Satch's Peavey JSX, Vai's JEM's (we could go on). But really, it's up to you if you find value in the product after buying it. If you really like it (it makes you feel like Vai or
Jared Leto) and people scoffed at you for buying these things, I'm sure it would not affect how you value it. But if you realize that you were a sucker for marketing, then you'd be messed up emotionally.
To TS, I hope you like your guitar, coz then it wouldn't matter what we think of it. If you realize it's really a bad instrument, then chalk it up as a lesson learned.
My two cents? It's not for me. Top carvings are a novel idea, but not with the griffin thingy (why call it a pythagoras anyway?). It's not that butt-ugly, if it's worth anything.
