What if it were 3 necks? And pretty much unplayable by normal people? And what if it was a guitar, banjo, and mandolin? I think I posted this in the old thread. Built by a gospel/bluegrass guy from West Virginia supposedly in the mid to late 50s. Two necks pieced together to make the guitar part, so past the 20th fret it's just for looks. A dog-ear P90 buried under body filler, with two different DeArmond Guitar Mikes on the banjo and mandolin. Gibson branded banjo tuners on what might have been a Gibson banjo neck(there's traces of the original inlays that look very similar). My dad tasked me with trying to make it playable, but I don't think it's worth it for something he doesn't know how to play. I do plan to pull the strings off so I can see what the date codes are on the pots, and maybe see if I can the electronics sorted. I'd love to yank the P90, but it is original to this monstrosity and I doubt I could get it out without trashing the area around it.

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.

My 70's Japanese copy is the same combo, and to be honest I like it, but it would probably look better with white pickup rings, poker chip, and pickguard

500+ acoustic guitars going to be destroyed in the UK because they have East Indian Rosewood. http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/more-than-500-cordoba-guitars-condemned-after-arriving-at-port-of-felixstowe-1-5490136 From what little info is out there, it sounds like the importer/distributor had the right permit, but I'm guessing Cordoba didn't have the right paperwork on their side.

They actually sorta reissued it as the Squier Master Series Esprit back around 2005. I picked one up around 2007 when they were discontinued and blown out for ~$200. Made in Korea, Duncan Design pickups, set neck, body and neck binding, etc. They are wider than a Les Paul, and even though it's chambered mine is still fairly hefty.

Now they just need to add a banjo neck One of these days I really need to take this all apart and see if I can make it playable. Tuner buttons are all crumbling, necks are all warped, action way too high, pots are junk, etc. And the guitar neck fretboard is mostly decorative past the 18th fret. Of course, it was built literally in a shack in the hills of West Virginia by a guy with a 6th grade education 60 some years ago.

I've got some oddballs(Harmony SG), but this is the only one I really call weird. Posted before in this thread. The Guit-Banj-O-Lin, built by a bluegrass/gospel performer named Rex Parker back in the late 50s. Questionable fret placement on the guitar neck past the 12th fret, and it's uncomfortable and unpleasant but playable. The banjo and mandolin necks are pretty much unplayable, mostly due to the sky-high action on both. DeArmond pickups on the banjo and mandolin parts, and a non-adjustable pole piece P90 from a pre-1950 Gibson ES125.

Norlin-Era SG owner checking in. 1975 Standard. Extra holes, broken heel, wrong bridge, T-Top bridge pickup, "vintage" Super Distortion in the neck. It has a good 45 years of wear on it, and it shows. But it plays great, sounds great, and was $350.

Kinda stupid but kinda cool poo poo. These are two Mako branded Strat copies, with a factory EVH knock-off paint job from the early 80s. Made by Samick in Korea. Not mine, unfortunately.   Look closely at the patterns, they do not match up exactly because these were hand taped and sprayed. Chances are you can even see overspray and spots where the paint bled under the masking tape. I know I can see it on my Hondo copy of a Fender Lead I. Also a factory paint job, but this one as made by Tokai in Japan.  Korean labor in the 80s was so cheap you could afford to have that kind of manual work done for what was essentially a low-end guitar.

Stupid Reverb poo poo List something as "Les Paul Copy", and it will change the wording to "Single Cut Copy" at random in the next day or so. Understandable, but gently caress Gibson. Really stupid, list something as an "LP Copy" and it will still change the listing to "Single Cut Copy", but it might take a few days or more. gently caress Gibson.

After listening I had to look and a quick search later  https://reverb.com/item/31787441-boss-tone-jordan-10-amp-1970-s-80-black Looks to be the same as the Mako Piranha practice amp I have, which was also an IMC product. The Tube Blaster switch is more less a Tube Screamer built-in. MIne does not get that fuzzy, though, and now I want to know what I need to break to get there.

Not to stand up for Gibson, but Epiphone was making single humbucker Coronets up until at least 2010 as promotional guitars for different events https://reverb.com/item/34317903-epiphone-coronet-master-craft-pro-tour-2008-ebony https://reverb.com/item/34020004-2010-epiphone-coronet-hard-rock-cafe-breat-cancer-awareness-promotional-promo-guitar-autographed There were also Japanese built Coronets more recently that were an artist signature model https://reverb.com/item/28074954-epiphone-limited-edition-elitist-tamil-okuda-coronet-2018-silver-fox?show_sold=true They don't say Coronet on them, but neither did the originals.

Still trying to figure out of this is a real name or a typo, or a typo that became the real name Rhapsoby? That has to have been Rhapsody at some point and then someone screwed up the logo, but there are other models from a span of years with that name and logo. Also wondering what happened to the y, the other logos have a normal looking y at least.

rickiep00h posted:And that weird clone thing is rad. Have you posted it on SA before? It looks familiar. Yeah, it's been posted a few times. Early 80's Hondo, made in Korea. On their Explorer copies they also did checkerboard, spider-web, and EVH-inspired stripes as well as one that was half web/half EVH-stripes. There's a Blue/Orange spiderweb on Reverb right now. Note, no matter what that seller says, it was made in Korea.

Don't know if it's stupid or just frightening, but this is apparently a legit spalted maple top FireFly 338 someone received. They posted other pics and it is real, so far as it being on the top that way. Some kind of Furby-Predator-Pokemon-owl-demon. I've seen some nice patterns, but that seems too insane to be real and for it to have left the factory that way.

I'm the stupid poo poo today. Made a stop at the pawn shop on the way home and bought this. Lotus Strat copy, basic black, made by Samick in the early 80s, really nothing special, but it was only $58 with tax. Why would I buy that?  Came with a very nice hippie strap, probably an Ace, legit "vintage" with all metal hardware and easily worth more than the guitar(to me, anyway). Not quite worth what I paid, but I can dump the guitar on Reverb for more than I paid so the strap is basically free. Then I can throw it in the box with my other vintage straps and never use it because a modern strap is much more comfortable and doesn't smell like cigarette smoke, old beer, and dirty hippies.
