    I hope they're not serious about the pricing with that cheap-o Floyd copy. If it was at least a Floyd Special it would make a lot more sense.

    Yeah, that price is kinda strange. It costs 400 EUR where I live, whereas the 749.99 $ is considerably more.

    Right...it is the MSRP on the sites. Street price is way lower. I personally don't like listing the MSRP at all as this is the confusion it brings...but there it is.
    The MSRP is used like this in order to set the street price...that way unless it's a sale, one dealer can't charge $400 and another $329 for the same guitar (here in the States mainly) that actually should sell for say $370. Keeps the retailers honest and doesn't let large stores that move high volume pillage a small dealer as well as set a value the company feels the product is actually worth.

    This new version has been out for quite some time now I think I would take this over any Jackson RR just because of the cutaway. Add a maple fretboard on-top of that and it would be sex. Just look at MF that's where they have been selling them for at-least the past 5 months or longer.

    I wish they wouldn't list the MSRP either. If I wanted my local shop to order me one that is the price they would charge. They charge MSRP on everything so I order everything online even picks.
