Gitison Holy Explorer with more than a touch of the Blade Runner to it

guitarz.blogspot.com:
Take a look at that headstock logo. It looks a lot like "Gibson", doesn't it? However, it actually says "Gitison". This guitar is a Gitison Holy Explorer handmade in Budapest, Hungary, by Tibor Turcsak. Although the name and logo would suggest a connection with a famous American manufacturer, the body design is a near identical replica of the Guild X-100 Blade Runner guitar. The guitar supposedly is equipped with two Kent Armstrong mini humbuckers and DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge position which ought to make it more versatile than the Blade Runner.

Currently listed on eBay UK with a Buy It Now price of £880.

Thanks to Zirig Árpád for bringing this guitar to my attention.
