May I ask what exactly it has to make it sound different (not even necessarily better, just different) from any other modern TBird or is it just looks?
My current intelligence is that it's not neck-thru, has the same cutaway restrictions of any TBird and the pups are not a new design either. So where's the beef other than the Gene Simmons connection?
I would have expected a Gene Simmons endorsed TBird to have active electronics, balance better, a double octave neck and improved high register access. Instead we get binding and a mirrored pg - both are great to play heavy metal with.
