    That shape has a road-kill look to it, you know from a looking down on it truck-driver’s perspective. Like an 18 wheeler hit it south to north with nine of its 18; in perfect symmetry… no?

    HOT!…That’s what people will say when they see your new $979.99 Signature Firewick guitar. With its contoured body and flames shooting out the back, they’ll think you’re on fire. But they don’t know the half of it. With its super fast neck, great action, and killer tone, you’ll be burning up and down the fingerboard with ease.

    Another drawback is it might be dangerous for small children under 3 years of age, for easily to swallow parts. Just conjecture.

    The Firewick Signature Series is truly a guitar player’s dream. Its alder body, quilted maple top, and bolt on maple neck with satin finish give this guitar that sought after vintage look and feel. A modern Wilkinson two point tremolo and Grover tuners say loads about the quality. The Signature Series features two tone knobs that are also push/pull coil taps that independently change each of the two humbuckers into single coils for an unbelievable range of sounds. It’s like having three different guitars in one.

    What?

    But really now, they might have a point:

    …every Tregan guitar has deep cutouts to give you easy access to all the frets. You paid for them. Why not use them?

    Why anybody would do that to a perfectly good piece of alder is a mystery to me.

    Yeah, I agree Ron. I just sprayed my “eaves” and “roof vents” all around our house with coyote urine to keep the squirrels from nesting… and I could’ve just put on of these up there instead… no?
