Some guy posted this guitar for sale on our local craigslist (no affiliation) -- never seen one like it! CRAZY back!

Really cool looking -- it's as if the Russian Suprematist artists of the 1920s decorated a guitar! :bug

Not sure if this the same guitar, but it looks like it has a near-identical back:

Unless it's a replacement case, I assume these are recent models?

Update: This forum thread says they date from 2000: :hmm

By the way, there are also a few different graphic designs in those photos, in addition to the model pictured above.

Note that the photo on Craigslist and the photo on Reverb are the same (the guitar is on the exact same rug). So, either the seller posted it on both sites, or (quite possibly) the Craigslist listing is a scam attempt, where the photo was lifted from Reverb. Sorry to say, I've seen this too many times on Craigslist.
