I like it fine - don't love it, but it's perfectly fine. I generally don't really like brown guitars - looks too much like furniture. I don't mind the gold hardware on it. It matches the rest of the guitar.

That's the same thing I thought. I mean a Strat head on an Explorer body? A bit weird, I thought.

It's a bit disconcerting, but for me in a good way. I recall seeing a few prepro Charvels (or maybe back when it was Boogie Bodies with Charvel necks) that were explorer bodies with those classic Charvel s-headstock necks and always wanted one. They're stupid expensive now, and no way to tell if they're even real, so wouldn't buy one. But super cool.

They really need reverse headstocks on these. For some reason it goes from “boner killer” to “schwing!” as soon as the headstock is reversed.

Yep, exactly what I was going to say.

I like this axe, but it does come to me that some might find it ugly.

I used to have a Mayones that was brilliant but also ugly, so I had to move it because of OCD.

This guitar has a beautiful top, and I like the Explorer shape, but I find the headstock quite odd.

That said, it is a Knaggs, and I am hearing more and more about how they're wonderful to play. And given the body is awesome, but no the headstock, I would go with a So So rating, or maybe even a Ho Ho (it's ugly but nice).

So the merits of getting one aside, was quite curious to assess others' reaction. Please participate in the poll and drop your comments.

Ostensibly it has asymmetric geometry . Even with the shape the neck and the body are not square. ~5°
