What Guitar Are You Playing At This Very Moment...

View attachment 43798

Someone in another thread asked about this guitar, a 1960s MIJ Idol “bizarre” guitar, so I took it for a spin. The rig is a temporary work station at which I’m comparing four versions of the big box Memory Man units. Sharp eyes will notice a 1960s Silvertone guitar and its “amp-in-case,” with which I began the Memory Man comparison some weeks ago and preempted for the Idol. I guess I got a thing for these old oddities!

I recoiled as my immediate reaction, but after looking at it closer and the fact something like that was built in the 60s I’m on board haha

That’s bad ass!!

That's funky cool, love it!
 
About to pluck on this one, I've been neglecting it lately.

Thanks, and funny you should say that. This guitar got on my radar several years ago when someone on another forum called a similar one “fugly.” But to me it was love at first sight!

They are actually all very well made guitars like a hell of a lot of other guitars that are made in
China .
You can keep taking the piss but you haven’t owned them so can’t really comment nice
They come up nice with this.

I see Chibson all the time. The first problem is the are a fraud . Then they are absolutely the worst quality rip off garbage you can buy ( illegally) . Just because they have thick shiny plastic on them doesn’t mean anything good. Can you really not see what is wrong with these?
