I have one of their big midi footswitches with the same color scheme, bought from a friend for no money. Comically hideous.

You mean the X-15 posted above or the smaller one, the X-11?

Ha, actually I misspoke. I have one of each

Had to go look in the basement, haven't used either one more than a couple times to check them out, and not for, oh, a decade maybe, don't remember.

Totally agree. Music Man makes some of the best guitars I've ever played, but there's not a version of the Majesty that is not an eyesore.

I think the Rickenbacker 325 is the coolest looking guitar ever made.

No,no, I was saying if the upper horn of the majesty was a little shorter it would look very similar to the Rick. I've always wanted to take a Rickenbacker body and build a modern style guitar. Pups and vibrato system and what not.

Been gassing for a Breadwinner ever since i played one in a small music store when they first came out. It felt amazing in my hands. I also remember the store owner saying "if your not going to buy it. get out of my store". He went out of business shortly afterwards. I wonder why.
