Galveston Green Acrylic Jem Knockoffs

Has anyone else seen these?





There's one on ebay with a Floyd... item=2501117676

Hmmm, could make a nice lamp?

Kind of a cross between a S series and a JEM. So thats what a Dan Armstrong JEM would look like....

It does look quite cool in a tacky novelty sort of way, but a monkey grip and a vintage trem on the same guitar??? errgghh

Interesting... I've seen these floating around for about a year or so now. I wouldn't mind having a clear one ala Crystal Planet. That would be cool, but I can't tell if there's a lions claw on the floyd-one on eBay... can anyone tell? Plus, they need to make the angled input jack. I'd pay $100 for the body if it had an AANJ and true Jem specs.

Looks like the flea-bay one has a normal floyd hole, no claw.

If anyone can find a distributer for these let me know, they are made by a company called Silverstar, or so I'm told and sold as Galveston.

I think a clear one would be cool, you would swiss cheese it too or get it swirled..

I still think it has great lamp potential.

Wow! That would be a great idea to get a trans-swirl from Herc on a clear body. But I have a feeling the paint wouldn't stick properly to the acrylic.

I hope the case would be made out of real wood.

Are you kidding? how cool would an acrylic guitar in a transparent case be?

Granted it would weigh 5000 pounds but it would look cool
