Tom at Eberhardt did me a favor with this one, and at the time I didn't even know it! I was trading in an Epiphone Dot (yuck) since he was wanting jazz boxes but I wasn't sure what I was looking for in trade. He handed this to me and I handed it back telling him I thought it looked weird, like an Ernie Ball, like it had melted. At the time I didn't really like that distorted offset double cutaway. To me it looked like someone melted a Gibson DC and a Strat in the same pot together then poured them out to cool on an uneven surface. I picked up another guitar, then he handed me this again. I gave it back with a weird look this time. I picked up yet another guitar. Then he handed me the damn thing again! He said he'd leave me alone if I played it. To humor him I jacked it into a Marshall combo and let rip with a few licks and the damn thing broke loose! Several minutes later I stopped and noticed Tom was just standing there smiling. I gave him a sheepish grin in return, and I could feel the egg which was now on my face dripping off onto the carpet as I leaned over to unplug. As you can see, the "melted" guitar went home. You could say I have gotten used to the "melted" series if you look at the Revelation. It's not only melted but stretched to heck too!
