Guitars with built in amps are all kinds of awful... I kind of want to own one though. Am I a bad person?

Some of these have probably been posted before, but gently caress it! Time for some stupid production guitars! Vox Teardrop  Teisco copy of a Vox Phantom  Yamaha SVG, I actually worked on one of these and it was pretty nice to play but it looks stupid.  Hallmark Sweptwing.  MusicVox Spacinator. Needs more lasers.  Lazer guitar. Pew pew pew.  Lace Cybercaster. Looks like it was made from an old TV.  Airline Bighorn, it's a reissue of a 60's guitar that no one wanted or asked for, 19 fret neck!  Millimétric Guitar and Bass.  Some stupid Burke aluminum-necked guitar, can't find a model name as I suspect someone attempted to erase them from history.  Davoli Scarabeo  Some type of 'Marauder' guitar.

It's actually a decent shape imo, it's just that weird veneer, it reminds me of my parents old TV.  Anyway, here's a few I left off because imgur poo poo the bed.  Speedster Travel guitar. These actually aren't bad for the money (about £120 last time I checked), if you use them with a pignose amp you can make an awesome noise.  Burns Streamliner. This guitar actually looks retarded.  Wandre Rockbasso.  And finally, a Gibson Corvus.

I didn't really mean it as an insult, I was being half serious. I really like that dresser though so I'm not taking it apart. e: It's ugly as gently caress though, but it's real solid.

love it. Including the finish. The most offset body ever. Mind you I just googled it to see what the headstock looked like and was let down big time White Dog Eggs posted:
have seen a green one of these on ebay a few times and have found myself thinking "looks fun as hell, if I had the money and space for another guitar and I found myself drunk on ebay I might..." but hell I never actually realised about the frets. Seriously you should see these in green or red. They look like a toy from the 60s edit - I mean look at this, I think fisher price have made more legit looking guitars

mclast posted:hypothetically how much would something like that cost? cheapo body, fake wood panelling, some halfway decent lipstick tube pickups? thing is so kistch it's cool again Honestly, not a lot at all. Flat body with a reclaimed/pre-made neck maybe... £200 with a set of lipstick pickups, or £175 with some normal single-coils. With hand-made neck it'd have be £300 in order for me to make any money. Tempus Fugit posted:It looks like rosewood to me. I don't know why, but I like it. Googling around I did find the ugliest guitar on the planet though. Check this out - It's probably that weird Rosewood that smells like soap, kingswood? I'm not too clued up on rosewoods. I bet the person who owns that guitar would talk to you for HOURS about how swamp ash is tonally superior to normal ash (they get pissy when you point out that the only reason Fender originally used swamp ash was because it was the cheapest wood that wasn't pine).

comes along bort posted:which they used for all their cabs The original Broadcasters were made of pine and they sounded pretty good, however wires have got crossed and people think pine is this super-secret tonewood "that the guitar companies DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!!" rather than thinking that the wood really doesn't matter that much. I've been asked to build a lot of pine guitars in the last 2 years. Astrobastard posted:I actually just spent like 10 minutes looking for it, I knew I had one somewhere That's got to be MDF or particleboard. Is it super heavy with crap sustain?

I used an MDF guitar body as a sledge last winter, dislocated a toe but it was worth it. The guitar body was fine.

I've seen him at least 6 times in the last 5 or so years at different festivals in different iterations, and it always sounds the loving same. We could probably do a whole thread about some of his ugly basses too.  That thing is pretty dumb He really needs to play with Primus and stop doing the jam band circuit.

i was really, really into Primus in highschool. Seen them a handful of times when Herb rejoined the band in between '04 and '06, and the Fancy Band once (bass, drum, percussion, sitar, saxophone - their cover of Shine On You Crazy Diamond was pretty alright). he's been getting more and more into the jamband scene for over a decade now, and i saw Primus with jay layne at a festival a few years ago and it was like seeing an old girlfriend, 'oh, nice, you're still alive and that's good. welp bye' relatedly i fuckin love your av 3rd street residents guy
