I dislike the notion of 'signature' guitars but, having said that, when I first heard that there was to be an LD model, I found myself looking forward to seeing it. I might even have been tempted, given how much Lonnie has meant to me on a musical level and at such an early age, to buy one.
Then I saw it.
I was horrified. It looked like a Christmas tree with ugly adornments and that out-of-character shaded top. I'd hoped for a 'period'-looking 000-21 or -28 with perhaps a subtle reference to the Great Man (20th fret inlay, maybe?) I know LD had a hand in its design so presumably it was close to what he'd visualized.
I'm as mystified as you, Chris.
