Not only is this guitar hideous, but the very first time you'd quickly slide from the higher frets down to the first, you'd come close to slitting your goddamn wrist on that tail.

I'd probably gut myself if I tried to play it, godamn.

He just wanted one installed in his stupid point BC-Rich bass, when he was trying it out on my amp he was playing normal boring metal bass riffs and randomly smacking the switch. I don't get it, but I got paid and I like money so it's all good.

lol that's dumb as hell

most people use their volume knobs as kill switches (I DO) so it makes sense to me to have a toggle and not a pushbutton like a buckethead wannabee

I'm only on page 67, but I've got to chime in here.

Billy Zoom is the man. (Maybe my inner drag queen wants a Gretsch Sparkle Jet, I dunno.) But when I took up the guitar I somehow got into an email discussion with Billy (he's a custom amp builder out in CA now), and he was super patient and helpful in answering my questions and helping me sort out guitar bullshit.

Anyway, for content, here is the ugly Korean-built guitar I ended up buying:



It's not as atrocious as some others in this thread, but yeah, yeah EMGs, cheap black wash effect, etc. In my defense, I'm a lovely guitarist who just likes to turn it to 11 and make a racket when so inspired.

To be fair, I never said he wasn't the man, just that he had a baby-eating grin. Which, yeah.

I was given one of these by a friend's wife, it was embarrassing grandma-level thinking 'oh you play guitar so here's something shaped like that for literally no reason!'

Little surprise, she turned out to be insanely self centered and hosed right off so I threw it right the gently caress away, fortunately (it was also a terrible spatula only fit for stirring koolaid).

Amidst subdued laughter it suddenly dawned on me. Not one of the clowns that made this video would have the balls to play any Zeppelin song in front of Page, Plant and Jonesy. This mustn't be considered as the channeling of Zappa-esque type humor, but rather merely the adolescent humor of a snarky snot nosed high school punk. Although it does garner a wee bit of a chuckle. BTW, I never made it past 1:15. I'm still pondering whether or not it was a short torrent of laughter, or the chili cheese dog I had for lunch paying me a second visit? Thanks for the grin.

I had a whole metal band show up today wanting their guitars tweaked. I actually installed a kill-switch in a bass and I feel sort of dirty now.

I can't decide if this is ugly or not;


It looks so goofy that I want one.

it's cool but the goofy control plate makes it a bit 'busy' I think; if the knobs were routed from the back it'd look so much better imho

What the gently caress is this? Why? It's always hilarious to see a guitarist who thinks he is important enough to have multiple neck guitars but when a bass player does it...

Bass player's are even gear spurgier than guitarists. But they generally know more too.

They've both got different wood on the fretboard. For the different tones, you see.

Could be, it's hard to tell if they are actually frets or just inlaid markers/stickers.

Apparently it's someone from "Yes", which explains a lot. Drugs are bad.
