I’d buy that if it came with a matching shaped headstock.

There are moments in life when you see something so baffling, so profoundly wrong, that your soul just sort of… steps back and whispers, “Why?”
This guitar—if we can still call it that—is one of those moments.

What you’re lookin’ at here… is the result of a design meeting where everyone gave up halfway through. It’s shaped like a slice of cheese that lost a fight with a belt sander. A sad, mustard-colored teardrop of regret. And that pickguard? Looks like someone slapped a stove burner on it and said, “Yeah. That’s enough engineering for today.”

The control knobs? Crooked like a politician’s promise. The bridge? Rusted over, possibly out of shame. And the strings? Strung taut across it like they’re tryin’ to escape but don’t quite have the courage.


It’s not a guitar made for playing… no, this is a guitar made for surviving. Surviving poor decisions, bad gigs, and at least three garage fires./quote]

Further credit is due: he kept it in a smoke free environment…if only it had been a hacksaw free environment .

Or a dickhead free environment.

Kinda reminds me of this, and I hate this design as well.

Nailed It!

Still more of a Telecaster than things like this:

Apart from that ridiculous tramp stamp at the 12th fret, I quite like this.

Then again, I think Telecasters are as ugly as sin.

1 bazillion percent. If I ever see one of the yellow ones; all bets are off \m/

 

[mbenigni]

Well fine - if you're going to put it that way, I'll eat my "ugly as sin" words.

@mbenigni be a good chap and substitute your own name for Tony please. Unless of course your name is Tony and then don't bother.

I only just now noticed the price. And this little gem:

The big question I still don’t have a clear answer for is: what do I ask for something like this?

A. Do not ask $25K.
B. If you considered asking $25K, you should be asking for some kind of prescription.

Thank you, and only on alternate Sundays.

I want to get a Nachocaster.

My dream is to bring it up to Julian Lage and as he goes to take it, yank it back and say, 'It's Nachocaster.'

Yeah, I have no problems with that guitar at all! It just isn’t a Telecaster.

To me “Telecaster” is more a sound than a look.

I also wouldn’t call this a Les Paul:

There are probably more than a few of you wondering who this is lol
