Is there really a humbucker in those. I mean, I see one, but is it just photoshoppery, or are they just wasting pickups.

Or does it actually work? But no, I couldn't be an actual working guitar? Could it??

My Son said that the street price is supposed to be under $200 shortly after the initial introduction.

There are lots of people that are seriously into it. The stock controller is a POS. I'm sure these will sell well. Being a Floridian, I'm diggin the Lynard Skynyrd Stars and Bars version...........YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EFFIN HAW!!!!!!!!!!

I know man, but if all they are doing is gutting the regular controller parts-wise, how will this be much better, except for being heavier...or is that the problem, the stock one is too light / small?

I really don't know as I SUCK at it and don't even try to play. If it's more solid and a little heavier it would probably help. Also having a bigger body might help.

Dorkiest. Stuff. Ever.

On topic... yeah. Those Peavey things seem lame. I talked to a buddy of mine. His opinion: "Those are probably factory seconds that they mangled to make the controllers rather than toss them in the wood chipper."

I think he's right.
