One of these.

I dont think it would look out of place in fenders catalogue. They own Jackson and Charvel now, so theres little to worry about in terms of copyright. I think its far more suited to the fender name than it is either the jackson or charvel names. Infact I think a slight touch of fenderizing would work wonders on the guitar. Put a few bends on some of those sharp lines.

Change the headstock and inlays and I think it would be a great addition.

Very cool guitar. Looks to me like a cross between a Fender, a Danelectro, and a trace of a Rickenbacker. I'd buy one.

What would you do to the headstock and inlays though? Myself I think if you put a curve on the hypotamuse of the inlays to stop em looking so triangular it would help. I'd keep the 3 a side headstock too. Just maybe add some shape to the top of it. Dots or trapezoids wouldnt work as the inlays, maybe blocks would. a strat headstock on it would look hideous, a tele one may work. Give it a kinda tc90 look maybe?

Yeah! I kinda like it the way it is though but some refinements wouldn't hurt! What is the model called Niki?

Its the surfcaster. They still pop up from time to time and sold well in their heyday (early to mid 90's).

It reminds me of a cross between a couple of Reverend Guitars models:

I think a Jazz/Jag headstock would look great. And block inlays.

I like it as it is. Apart from the straight line at the top of the headstock, it doesn't co-ordinate with the instrument. It needs curves there I think. :wink:

I think oval shaped inlays would look good on that guitar.

I like it the way it is but angle the headstock to be longer on top and make the inlays centered triangles. That selector switch is just askin to get slammed so i'd rather see it moved to the bottom of the pick guard.
