This is the second variation of the 1500, having a metal full face plate without the red tortoise plates, and round 'vent holes' rather than the elliptical holes of the first concept. No doubt too 'spacey' for most, but I like it, so there!

This guitar is currently being built in the Netherlands as a personal prototype, though many cosmetic details are still undecided, this is the general idea.

Looks really good to me.  I think it wouldn't look as good without the fin, though it probably would be more practical to play.  I agree with the folks who prefer the round holes to the elliptical...I think they mesh better visually with the control dials down below.  The purple one looks like pure sex, but then again I'm kind of partial to purple.
