Specifically the Pawn Shop 72 Strat/Tele hybrid:

I think it'd be better with both humbuckers covered/uncovered. It's pretty cool though. I've seen nicer strat/tele hybrids.

not sold on the colour, which is minor really but mostly I'm not a fan of rotation switches to change pickup positions, especially with out a clear visible marker to let you know what position you're in.... but the pickup combination and semi-hollow build could have some nice tones, I'd give it a try for sure if I saw one in a store.

Quite possibly the ugliest pickguard ever.

I love that pickguard when its on a old p-bass / tele bass, but on a strat it looks like shit.

Needs a big head Strat headstock.

Nope

I like it but I much prefer this one:

Yeah, some of the Pawn Shop series are cool, this one....eww.

that super sonic looks sweet

That's the 1 I like to. they make the other 1 in other colors to I think.

Fugly, but it has the potential to deliver good sound.

I like alot of the Pawn Shop series, but just cant make myself like any of the Strats.

I kind of like it. I think it would be better if they offered different pickup options, like s/s/s or 2 P90s, and ditched the F hole.

Its interesting, not necissarily my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be someone else's....

Not a fan of the Pawn Shop line at all.

Nope

I had a couple of goes with this model:

The pawn shop offset.

Quite liked it actually. Good neck and I particularly liked the pickups. Not sure about the f-hole. I preferred the look of the black one:

It was the god-awful JM style trem that put me off.

Did not like the 72. The bridge humbucker did nothing for me and the neck is not my cup of tea.

The Super Sonic looks interesting though.

No, it's the control layout that's dumb.

to me the first guitar just instantly looks like it is trying to do too much, imho

I couldn't vote - sits right in the middle for me. I could see why I would have loved it at one point, but it's not doing it for me now.

Guess I could sum it up with the question: Can you have too much flair?
