https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0W95Rgs0EI yeah there we are, it looks ok in the picture but kinda gross in the video. also, spruce/maple acoustics are way too bright sounding, and, lol, $7500 for it

I'm on the fence. I bet it looks better in person though. It sounds better in that video, than I would have expected. Still wouldn't pay 7 grand for it.

Certainly I was exaggerating earlier, but...comes along bort posted:looks like it was made with a 3d printer ... sums up my true sentiment. I guess the acoustic / classical world doesn't go as bananas as the electrics, and this instrument takes it as far from the norm without losing its identity as a "parlor acoustic." I get that brown-on-brown can get dull, but it's funny how off-putting the variations can be (especially in the Brett Michaels direction). To me, at least.

CSM posted:You know good times are ahead when you start a band and the bass player shows up with one of these: I bought this beast from a guy on Craigslist last year.     The strings are standard strings, fed from the top of the neck to standard tuners on the body. Given the scale of the thing, I think it has a standard 6 string guitar neck on it. The neck and body almost appear to be one piece, since there's a really heavy coat of black lacquer over the whole thing that is hiding the seams if there are any. I'm guessing that it was built from a kit or something. The electronics are all point-to-point wired on the inside, obviously put together by someone who knew how to solder. The only name on it is Schafer, which I've never heard of and can't find any info about. I'm putting some serious thought into turning it into a tenor guitar.

Yeah, that's like the only one, and it costs like 200+ dollars to ship one from Australia, and I don't really know what the quality is. Plus, it's apparently smaller than a standard Explorer, which irks me

The original body shape is kind of rubbish though, the balance is terrible.

Yeah the little knob loosens up and you can slide the pickup part back and forth to change the tone.

I dunno, Gibson Grabber/Ripper basses feel kinda weird to me (maybe I've just never played one that was properly set up), and the body proportions are seem just a little bit off: too bulbous on the bottom, the horns are too small, weird headstock, weird pick guard. they sound cool, though

Thanks to this dumb thread I think I'm going to buy a guitar and I haven't even played in ten years.  Even though I don't like Dinosaur Jr I think the J Mascis Squier is going to be the one  with that cream and gold I'm sure it belongs in here
