Saw it on musician's friend and was intrigued.

The picture doesn't match the description. Those are mini-bucker pickups. Description reads P-90s. I'd be weary as to what actually comes with the guitar.

Wow, sounds like you can actually surf with that Zak.
And here is, likely, the guitar in question. With P-90s. I must disgress, the video is the textbook example of completely inappropriate tone/set up for the type of music the guy is playing. Sounds so cheesy.

I posted the wrong guitar it turns out. The one I posted was made by the Gibson custom shop. Nonetheless, P-90s.

It's quite a lot like my first "proper" electric guitar. I've been tempted to buy one of these, but currently have other priorities, so this will have to wait... MF had a white one in the outlet store for $249.00. The price certainly seems right enough...

Holy hell I think at least 99% of that is the player. 
What! Really! Seemed like a great player. I mean, he had a youtube video!

Went to one of their outdoor concerts, back in the day. My ears are still ringing from it.

I had one of those Epiphones when I was 12 years old. My parents hired Mary Kay LeTourneau to teach me scales.

someone playing surf with a crestwood using a completely inappropriate rig for the surf-taliban audience here, of course:

My only problem with that is that the title says "Surfing with my..."
Why are people referring to playing surf as "Surfing". It is ridiculous...

I didn't realize that calling a large group of random strangers "narrow minded" was comical, or an exercise in sarcasm.
It isn't sarcasm, but it is definitely comical. The handicap for example...
