Whilst this python guitar isn't something that appeals to me personally, even I have to admit that the creators, Xentric guitars, have done a first class finishing job on it. As to how it actually plays, I couldn't comment. And at least the snake theme isn't such an appalling cliché in hobnailed boots as a guitar with skulls all over it.
As you can see it's very smooth and shiny... possibly a little too glossy?
It's a pity about the generic Strat-type neck. It would have been nice if the headstock design could have continued the snake motif in some way. Also, as such a lot of work has obviously been put into this guitar, it amazes me that the string ends haven't been clipped up at the tuners. They've gone to the bother of fitting coloured strings, so I'd have thought that presentation was an issue.
Currently listed on eBay with a starting price of $999.95.
Why've I got that Motörhead song "Love Me Like A Reptile" going through my head?

Ghastly heart-shaped guitar covered in illuminated skulls: please feel free to point and laugh
guitarz.blogspot.com:
I've said it before and I will say it again: I really seriously HATE skulls on guitars. It's just such a appallingly naff cliché that I can't imagine anyone wanting such a thing unless they are part of a comedy metal band. Not only has this heart-shaped guitar got skulls all over it, but also their eye sockets light up with red LEDs. Spooky, eh?
I mean, really, WHO is it supposed to appeal to? Even most 12-year old have better taste.
Also, check out that action. OUCH! The pink strings don't help, only serving to draw attention to it.
This horror is currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $549.99. (Oh look, the auction number ends in 666... it must be a sign or a prophecy or something!)
