This guitar is great - some googling revealed an interesting behind the scenes story:
http://www.legacyengineer.com/portfolio-guitar.htmlLooks like this company is the one who actually designed it for Gene Simmons - but the thing is - I2G/Gene stiffed them and never paid for the building of it. These people are the ones behind the Flashback 2 and other cool looking products as well - they build electronic works of art. If Gene played a concert - he'd expect to get paid, well these people built what looks like a great product, real shame that didn't get paid.
