I played this at Elderly today(best guitar store ever FYI):


It actually plays pretty nice. Not worth 1100 bucks though. It's a 1982 Guild X-79. I would seriously buy it if it was 500 or less.

Haha, 80's Guilds are loving ridiculous. They used to make some of the all-around best guitars you could find, then hair metal happened and their sales dropped through the floor. The natural reaction is to make some of the most ridiculously 80's-looking guitars on the market. They look like rear end, but are still excellent guitars. I used a mid-80's Pilot bass for a while and it sounded awesome, and had one of the more perfect necks I've ever played on, but it looked so loving dumb I didn't play it outside of our practice space. (edit: it was purple)

Oh yeah, if anyone wants an exceptionally dumb-looking Wishbass there's one for sale in the Portland Metro area.

8 string guitars and 11 string basses are great for making the kind of music that would be easier to play and sound better on a piano.

I'd have thought banjos immune to the stupidity of musicians, but I guess I was wrong.

I nearly bought this sort of thing at a music store today, with a slightly caved-in top and a crack in the back.


While better than the used Rogue mandolin they had with the half-inch action (WHAT THE gently caress) it looks like it has a tumor, and is sorta broken.

EDIT: I'm not saying mandolins like this are seriously ugly, but they sure look a little dumb. And as you may guess this music store with a ton of used gear had way too many First Act guitars. Ugh.
