Definitely from the Kiesel school of 'why not?' guitar design.

The equivalent Kiesel school of thought is commonly known as anti-aestheticism.

I play Country music too, I'm just not sure which country it's from...

Too bad about the Graph Tech piezos, should have gone with RMC.

Could not find any prices.

I think you get the price when you put together what you want.
That's how I understand it anyway.

You can ask for what you want. I sent a request for either GK or Nu-XR Combo instead of the Graph Tech.

QuoteOf course you can ask for other specifications if not listed.

How about a guitar with:

13 pin output.
Variax internals.
Triple play internals.
Sustaniac.

Adrian Belew used to have a signature Parker that had this stuff IIRC.

Possible? Could you pull it off with a chambered body?
Which luthier could do it?

That Belew guitar is a rare bird - the guy who figured out how to make it all work together passed away sadly.
