Jesus, it looks like it's about to take a dump on the fretboard. The transparent dye job on that quilted maple is really bad as well.

You think Dr. F is a sperge Lord this guy makes him look normal.
They had to ban him multiple times and even now no one will type it hid reel name lest it show up in a Google search he does and bring him back.

It almost looks like it wasn't sanded well enough before finishing. I've seen spots of tearout in maple that are hard to sand, and when you finish them they absorb the finish all weird and fuzzy. Or it could just be a rattlecan holocaust too. (If someone from this thread doesn't use 'rattlecan holocaust' as a band name it's a drat shame)

I reckon you're right there, maybe they didn't want to risk damaging the inlay or something. I've had trouble getting quilted maple to take dye evenly, I've found the best way is just to not use it and if anyone asks I usually show them some spalted wood and they change their mind.



For all those times when you really need to play a mandolin but cannot put your guitar down. I've lost count of how many times this I've thought this, then again I've inhaled a lot of paint thinner over the years.

Here's a PRS Dragon III that happens to be a lefty. http://www.gbase.com/gear/prs-paul-reed-smith-dragon-iii-24-from-the-r

Only they didn't change the loving dragon inlay to accommodate the left handed guitar so the dragon inlay appears upside down when it's played. Are you loving kidding me.

Also that abalone "TM" trademark inlay after the dragon is super duper classy, too. Maybe on their next masterwork they'll inlay an elegant full page or two of copyright law violation warnings on the fretboard.

PRS use CNC for everything, I guess it's too much effort to do a small run of left handed inlays, or just flip the boards around.

It's even dumber than that. When I looked and counted the number of tuners, I was like "why aren't there 8 on the short neck?"

Taken from some lovely website

"1959 Gibson EMS-1235 Doubleneck - Sunburst All original and very rare 1959 Gibson EMS-1235 Doubleneck guitar in excllent condition. Doublenecks where built to custom order only and just 13(!) of this model left the factory in 1959. Solid 13mm sprucetop and hollowbody construction. The long neck has a scale length of 625mm, the short neck is a 6 string octave guitar, tuned 1 octave higher and has a scale length of 352mm."

it looks like a guitar for middled aged business men who always wished they'd learned to play guitar

even in high school the guys that went on about them were the ones who weren't particularly good players

you'd go to their house and they'd have whatever cheap guitar they could find that reminded them of Clapton and they'd say things like "i just plug up to my little 10w marshall...it's all i ever need" or some poo poo. None of those guys knew what the gently caress was coming out of his mouth. I'm like "so you want the most expensive guitar we can buy around here to plug into THAT amp...ok, dude"

I like to think I'm not one of those dudes. I've currently got 2 PRS along with a few other makes and while I don't think they're the be all/end all of guitar making, they're light enough that wearing one of them all night doesn't leave me looking for a chiropractor the next day and they make noises that sound good.

And I think some of them are pretty. :colbert:
I have a red one and a rainbow one.

The collectors who buy based on the quality of the flame or whatever drive me nuts regardless of the brand that they choose.
