[Kerouac]

Astro Meistergitarre 1955

This is without a doubt the most unusual archtop guitar we have ever seen. It actually plays well and sounds very nice. Missing the pickguard. Original case included. Believed to be a one off. Call for details.

$3,500

I respect it as a guitar with a lot of mojo; but wouldn't want it at any price.

Blargh.

I like it and hate it at the same time. It's very frustrating. I kind of feel the urge to break something now.

I love this line:

Wonder why?

 

[Mark Wein]

did it grow up too close to Chernobyl?

Not a lot of info about the company, most of the info is in German, and this is the only one anyone has actually seen.

Ugly beasty. I hope it is a one off. It would make for a nice museum piece though.

Other than it has a zero fret, which is immediately a fail, I kind of dig it.......

The tuners are a bit over the top, but the whole guitar is pretty over the top.

That said, I don't know if I like it a little, or hate it a whole lot.

I wonder why one was made; I have no wonder about why no more were made. :snooty:

It's like someone took the D'Angelico Teardrop idea and went the completely other and wrong way with it. It's really awful to look at.

Looks like a Star Trek prop.

 

[BlackCat]

I hope it sounds good.

If that was my first guitar, I'd have nightmares about guitars the rest of my life. I'd have to go with an oboe after that!
