    Memo written to product designers at large:

    Wood is beautiful. Metal is beautiful. Plastic can be beautiful. Plastic painted to look like wood is tacky (see station wagons). Plastic painted to look like metal is also tacky but less obvious.

    The original Zune was a good use of plastic, true to the material.

    The MacBook pro is a good use of metal and glass.

    Docomo's Touch Wood is a good use of wood.

    When in doubt, just copy those above.

    @_rt¹⁰⁰: Indeed, I could have tightened that up by just saying that any material made to look like any other material is a sin against design.

    But I totally agree with the route you're going here. A phone would look really good with f holes.

    This is the phone that the 50 year old mid-life crisis guy will buy in hopes that hipsters at Starbucks will see it and think he's "cool".

    The best part would be at the end of the contract when I got to smash it Who style...

    Or burn it Hendrix style.

    Not Accurate to a Fender at all colorwise. The back should match Fender colors not Les Paul colors

    OH! And no strings or whammy bar!!

    Not to mention the back looks more like a flamed maple top on a Les Paul.

    @secretmanofagent: Touché salesman. That is a much better finish, and a much better match. I hope tmo hands out LP stickers to cover up the silly Fender logo (and a personal apology to my Fender and my PRS).

    He was one of the biggest contributors to modern music in the 20th century.

    Les Paul, we salute you for giving us the music we truly enjoy today. Without you there are no Foo Fighters, Van Halen, Chicago, or rock n roll for that matter.

    Thank you sir.
