it's like one of those modern suburban tract houses where they throw in a bunch of different architectural features from different periods that are supposed to denote "this is a classy joint" but because the designer has zero understanding of what they're doing it just turns into a giant ridiculous mishmash of poo poo with zero functional use

It's not just terribly ugly, it's horribly made. Either the neck was put on crooked or the bridge is in the wrong spot, look how badly the strings are offset on the neck. And the PG is just so haphazardly cut relative to the body shape. And what the hell is the output jack doing there?

It's the sort of thing I want to buy just so I can post a video of me smashing it on my driveway and lighting the remains on fire in a steel drum as a warning that This Sort of Thing Will Not Be Tolerated.

Something for said collection - a little piece I gave to the goon holiday album a year or two ago.

Vocaloid, Otamatone, close enough.

drat, that album is better than it has any right to be. Needs another reverb over everything and then a light fuzz on that reverb to really finish the sound, but still.

edit: okay, it's a bit uneven as I go through, but some tracks really nail the shoegaze sound.

Yeah but unlike Grover, Eddie actually made the frankenstrat work

e: I still love the story about him saying the opposite of what he did with the variac because it sounded more rock'n'roll like david lee roth had told him to do and immediately regretting it and trying to take it back but it was too late and people had blown their amps :rip:

Everything about that makes me irrationally angry

At first I thought this was just hyperbole, it was just a wonky shape.
Then I started noticing things.
The placement of the output jack in the middle of the strumming path.
The cutaway at fret 15 leaving the upper frets unreachable with a normal playing style.
The only pickup placed in mid position
The neck that appears to be crooked so the lower E string almost goes off the fretboard on the upper frets.

There's NOTHING irrational about being angry at this guitar.

Anyone remember that ridiculous multipickup monstrosity that always comes up?

Well, I pray this is a scam on CL, because I may have to take one for the team and check out this monstrosity if it isn't.

I mean, it somewhat checks out - the company that made it exists and is local to the area, but it's just too conveniently stupid to not be a scam in a lot of ways - classic stupid internet guitar, CL, plus it keeps showing up.

You know that dopefish ladder goat video where the guy laughs as wheezingly hard as he possibly can at the video game goat glitch-walking up the ladder for like 9 straight minutes?

I just did that exact same thing but about this guitar.

I know it's a bit passe to call out the musical integrity of groups like the Chainsmokers and Nickelback (he addresses this in the beginning), but his approach is humble and, I think, in the fun loving spirit of embracing and appreciating Stupid Music poo poo. So I'm posting it. Please enjoy.
