    you listed the wrong price, i saw this at my toys r us like two weeks ago and i think it was actually only $29.99, you guys can hate all you want but i think its awesome.

    i lifted up the box and it was heavy, so this must be made out of resin or something, in other words its a statue, so that would probably justify the price even if it was actually 40 bucks. #darthvader

    40 dollars is pathetic. The REAL sensor bar is already overpriced, considering it doesn't do the slightest bit of true sensing and can be replaced by two damn candles.

    I pity anyone who wastes the money to buy this.

    Also, it's not even angled properly. THe in-use picture makes it obvious that the bar is at an angle(look at the lines of the TV), and then the pictures of it, my god. The pictures of it are angled so that the bar is horizontal. Look at the bottom of vader. Notice that he's not horizontal.

    The thing is built at the wrong damn angle! :|

    wouldnt the "shredderz" buttons make it more difficult for lefties, seeing as how they seem to hinge in the middle of the fretboard and only depress on the bottom half of the fretboard (as played by a righty)?

    @Dangerwillrobinson: My friend just got a rare Tokai from the 60's (was essentially a Strat clone) that is valued at 1000 dollars even in the mediocre condition it is in...for free off some guy cleaning out his garage on Craigslist. And it sounds fantastic, much better than the used Ibanez he spent 400 bucks on.

    Anyway - other than that I agree with you. And I love this comic.

    As a telecaster nut, I must say that while it's very pretty, there are a couple things wrong with this. The bigsby tremelo never existed on the '52 blackguard telecaster, and those teles also has blonde necks instead of rosewood. This looks like a 50's tele mashed with a 60's tele.

    Whatever, I'm just talking to hear my own voice; it's obviously a very pretty guitar.

    I actually just played on this last night. I really liked the fretboard buttons. They are much easier to press and slide your fingers across. I really didn't like the touch sensitive button. I kept hitting it accidentally between songs which would put me into lefty mode without me realizing it.
