in either case it doesn't have that "loud and proud" look that you get from something like a Flying V or other such guitar where that sort of design fits better (in my opinion only, of course).

The real test is whether the guitar, outside of its looks, is a good value for the dollar. I'd prefer my own design to someone else's in any case.
