Washburn Announces HM Import Guitar Series

Washburn have release some new pointy guitars - the HM Import Guitar Series. I used to be a major Washburn fanboy as a teen for the simple reason Nuno Bettencourt played them, and he was GOD to me back then. These days the only guitar in their range I am a big fan of is the Idol Series. Now that is a classy looking guitar.
Anyway, back to the pointy ones. I'm sure some of you will like them. Me, I'm pretty "meh". What do you all think?
