Hot or Not? BillyBoy Classic

[Lerxst]

Hand made in Florence, Italy
Tv jones power tron in the bridge position, (a great cross between a TV Jones classic and a PAF humbucker)
Lipstick pickup in neck position (not sure of brand, but is very high quality. Is bright and full, very vintage sounding. Makes a nice contrast to most bridge PU's which are dark and muddy.)
Custom made, precision engineered skull vibrato. (very similar to a bigsby, but with a wider and softer action. Tight and responsive feel.)

[sleewell]

its unique. i kinda like it.

 

[PunkKitty]

Why?

 

[mikesr1963]

Makes me think Eagles of Death Metal. Headstock looks like a Fender that got pregnant.

 

[Coralkong]

Me no likey at all.

 

[bsman]

It looks like they shorted the girth of the body to make an extra-chubby headstock. Fugly doesn't begin to do it justice...

[ellengtrgrl]

Ahhh I don't know. I assume from the way it looks, that it's sort of a cross between a Gretsch Billy Bo Jupiter Thunderbird and a Gretsch Bo Diddly, but it doesn't quite gel for me.

 

[DFB]

Um,no.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

It's so ugly and yet I like it.

 

[Chad]

Not the type of guitar I would expect to see skull hardware on.

 

[jp_nyc]

Looks like someone used D20s to roll up a random guitar design and was very unlucky.

 

[gtrjunior]

Not

 

[micwalt]

ick

 

[baimun]

Love the hardware.... wish it was on a standard tele shape.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

 

[GDSmithTX]

Salvador Dali would like that about 17%. I'd agree with him.

 

[Tiltsta]

I don't really care for the shape. The skull trem is an interesting focal point.

 

[Jbird]

It's like BillyBoy and Squier teamed up to make the Billy Squier.
