If I were to get a guitar that was chrome... I would get a Joe Satriani Ibanez. Just like the one that he calls "Chrome Boy". That's a sweet axe. I would also like one of his Cyrstal Planet JS's. But 15,000 dollars for a guitar is way too much money. The only thing that makes it worth that much is the fact that it's a limited run custom shop guitar. It doesn't mean it's going to sound better than a Squire (And my guess is that it probably doesn't). To chrome plate a guitar... it would need to have a hella thick finish. Which would totally defeat the tonal qualities of the wood. Oh well... I don't really care. I think it looks pretty sharp, I personally would never buy it. Not even if it were only 1000 dollars. I would just buy a nice, plain, old strat.
