 Everyone is on the Thunderbird band wagon. They look kinda cheap.

Yeah, I think it's the tiny pick ups. They just make it look off like something's not quite right.

Bleh... The (bolt-on) neck isn't recessed into the body enough. Not as bad as a stock Warmoth, but there's way too much upper fret access.  ;)

 That's what I was thinking too, when looking at them they just didn't look "right". The heel is large and the bridge is too far forward.
