Though I heard that the dude is a mayor douchenozzle, I still think Daron's painted (lacquered?) Ibanez Icemen looked alright:  I think his dad painted them?

I still find myself wanting an Iceman every time I see one. Maybe that'll be my next guitar purchase.

Fwiw my AliExpress rickenbacker is pretty nice for the money. I’m never going to claim it’s as good as original but perfectly good for the money. DO IT

What do the headstocks say on those Chinese knockoff guitars? They always angle the picture so you can't read it. Does it say Gibson or some other thing?

Most will say Gibson(even on the Epiphone clones), some sellers offer custom logos or headstock shapes. Depending on your country, it might get confiscated if it says Gibson. US customs doesn't seem to really care as long as you're not bringing them in by the boatload.

Pretty tempted to score a double cutaway les paul jr or an sg junior off aliexpress right now! Cheap beater guitars are my Achilles heel, apparently.

Plays just fine. In bizarre side news with that, the seller has occasionally contacted me to try and reach out to people in North America who are backing out of paying or refusing shipment. I've pretended to not see those messages.

His original guitars, before he got the deal with Gibson, only had a single switch.

So I've been looking at fretless basses at a local website market page for some time, and came across two pretty good candidates for this thread. This self-made custom beauty for a measly 1000 euros.  That's a steal, even if you have to get the pickups and electronics yourself:  But don't worry if that's too pricey for you, we've got you covered! This guy took a few chunks out of the bass and the savings are passed on to you:  The bottom one isn't nearly as Stupid Music poo poo™ as the above one, but it's like someone took two sizeable bites out of a Warwick. Speaking of which, does anyone else find Warwicks atrocious?

Sorry for the double post, but I just hit the mother lode. I was trying to find a picture of a friend's guitar, a custom made horrorshow he paid 4000 for. But I came across something much, much worse. http://www.amfisound.fi/gallery I mean, who doesn't want an 8 string Egyptian theme guitar, with an Anubis headstock:   Or whatever this is:   Wait, this doesn't look that bad...  Ok, nevermind. The stupid was there, you just had to look. They have basses too.  You may be hard pressed to find a case for that, but worry not, for it's included.  The amount of what in my head is exceeding dangerous levels, but I was still asking myself, who wants to play these things? This guy:

As far as I know both buttons work as an "off when pressed switch. They are both the same as far as I know. But yeah it's mostly a hand position thing I think. He definitely uses both switches.

I remember him saying in one interview quite a few years ago (this was probably during the time he was in GNR) that he got a Baritone guitar because most standard-scale guitars felt like toys to him or something.

Buckethead is huge. Like he's like 6'6" or some poo poo. Then add another 6+ inches for the bucket and he looks like a 7 foot tall weirdo towering over everyone on stage. And he has giant hands. He used to play custom made Jackson King V's that were oversized because regular sized guitars look funny when he holds them. His Gibson model's body is oversized too. Like it's way bigger than an actual Les Paul, also IIRC he's extra weird and plays in standard or just half a step down tuning on a baritone scale neck.

An extremely stupid music poo poo thing is all the drunk conspiracy theories around Buckethead, like he was really Slash when he played with GnR, or that he's really Peter Steele who faked his death when he finally grew out of his goth phase.

Pretty sure people thought he was Paul Gilbert at one point too. It's extra weird because there is literally only a few pictures of him without the mask, and they are from the 80's. He doesn't really do interviews out of character either , which adds to the weirdness. He did a podcast awhile back though and I think it's the only interview he's ever done where he was just being himself and not talking through a hand puppet. That seems so weird to type out.

Stupid Music poo poo in the sense of being annoying: hand-shaping a brass nut. Bone may smell bad but at least you don't need to double-check your tooling to make sure you're not just lightly scraping it.
