Not sure if anyone has seen these, but that Neon Drip has me drooling.

Holy crap I'd love that tiger combo. I think I actually want the tiger striped Riot pedal just a tiny bit more than the guitar though haha. The font used on the Riot finally works with the aesthetics of the pedal when painted that way. Too bad they won't sell them separate, I'd be all over that.

99 out of 100 guitars in the 80s were maple fretboards, how can this be missed by a man who started out in the 80s???

Have to imagine you can get maple if you want it. The neon drip has maple.

True, but my two main players were an RG with a Rosewood board and a FP JEM, again, rosewood board. I will give you it was ALMOST never ebony and this was the end of the 80's.

Those are awesome. I'd love to see what the neon drip would look like with a single bucker and chrome hardware.

Those look great! I love the Suhr Drip finishes!

Cool in theory but that may be one of the worst tiger graphics that I've ever seen...very amateurish IMO. I love the neon drip though...very cool.

And I love you Scott but I have to disagree with you on the maple/rosewood thing...in my experience it went more in the direction of rosewood from the mid-80's on. Rosewood was an upcharge from Charvel so early on (pre-pointy) there did tend to be a lot of maple, but that seemed to change over time.

Scandinavian metalheads and guys in 80's tribute bands are probably the few to be caught in public with a guitar like that. Kinda like a moped or fat chick, fun to ride but don't let anyone see you do it.

The Neon Drip is awesome. Would love to have one of those.

Suhr + limited production = (most likely) outside of the price range I'd consider for a gigging guitar...

Yup. Got a price from Brad, Suhr + limited production = pricey.

Do they come with a holder for a can of Aqua Net in the case?

In many of our cases, it would need to come with a membership to Hair Club For Men.

How would they know anything about these guitars since Robben Ford won't play them.

That would be list price. MAP is less.
