P90s seem like kind of a weird choice for a rich-hippy guitar.

Dirt posted:P90s are the best possible pickups though. Yeah but rich hippies are the worst possible people so it seems more in character that they'd do something awful like single-coil EMGs or Lightwave+piezo or some other such atrocity.

Out of all the guitars you could paint a giant pair of tits on, an Ibanez RG has to rank near the bottom.

I wonder if the weirder guitars on Rondo are customs that somebody ordered while drunk and refused to pay the balance on after they sobered up. Look at this thing, for instance. How are you going to get your djent on with nothing but a neck pickup? I guess somebody wanted to do a Charlie Hunter thing and then had second thoughts.

After having another look at this I honestly think it would look fine if they put, say, a Les Paul Jr pickguard on it.

Most of their custom shop bodies have a fretless option and quite a few have multi-scale options, and there's no footnotes or anything that say you can't combine them. So I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. How many people even play fretless guitars, anyway? I can think of a few who have done it as a gimmick on a song or two (Steve Vai, Adrian Belew, Issei Noro from Casiopeia) but never as a regular thing.

Looking at Les Pauls with locking trems got me on Robert Fripp's various guitars and, uh, geez: It makes sense for what he does but still, drat.

Rondo will happily build you one for about a grand, although I don't think gently caress You Pink is in their color options.

Ruflux posted:I forgot one key part from earlier: I'm also a poor university student so I couldn't buy a guitar if I wanted to. If you can scare up about $80 you could probably find an Epiphone LP Jr on ebay or craigslist. Alternatively, borrow one from someone who seems like a space cadet and hope they forget to ask for it back. Comedy option:

I wonder how many of these Epiphone has been selling? None of the online retailers I check seem to be able to keep them in stock. Also smdh at calling that a "Les Paul" when it's clearly a Melody Maker. Respect your own history, Gibson. BDA fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Somebody found a way to make the Dean Cadillac look even more awkward. I guess the Dean Cadillac is fairly stupid music poo poo on its own, although I've become weirdly fond of it the more I've looked at it. BDA fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Nov 5, 2017 |

The wrongness is so subtle and yet so jarring.

Malaria posted:the 50x1 sounded better than I expected it to. Honestly with a bit more low end it would've sounded pretty good, in a hosed-up sludge kind of way. Maybe if it'd been 49 mini-amps and one 1x15 combo... Granted, there are probably much easier ways to get that sound.

If you're one of those people who only ever uses the bridge pickup I could see having goofy neck pickups just as a visual gimmick. People like that don't usually play single-coil Fenders, though.darkwasthenight posted:Looking at that wiring scheme I think they're for adding more high string or low string emphasis to the bridge pickup. Could he really not think of a more elegant way to do that? P-Bass style split pickups for guitar are a thing that exists.

Diversifying is not in and of itself a bad thing (as far as I know, I'm hardly some financial whiz) but diversifying by investing heavily into an industry that's due for a crunch even more severe than yours seems extraordinarily dumb.

If they're worried about diluting their brand they could just do what Fender does and have, y'know, other brands. According to Wikipedia their only instrument-building subsidiaries besides Epiphone are Kramer and Steinberger, neither of which are doing jack or poo poo ATM as far as I can tell.

If I was in the market for a cheapo Les Paul I'd probably get an Agile (although I've heard they tend to be even heavier than Epiphones.)
