Archtops with a single PU in the neck position get a pass.

OTHERWISE...

I tend to agree, with the exception of esquires. They are awesome .

 

[Flamencology]

A Joe Pass?

I see what you did there.

And I did not appreciate it.

I'm sort of disturbed that they made up an entire false backstory of a supposed daredevil motorist named Betty La Foy as a way to market an ugly, silly guitar.

You didn't like the last one either.

That's what I sort of figured when I googled "him" and only found info on Vintage guitars. That's the sort of marketing that pisses me off...

I'm a tough audience.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I'm a tough audience.

It's just a shitty guitar.

 

[Jbird]

Shouldn't it have a Motorhead sticker on it? Surely there's room for one, somewhere.

 

[LeftyTom]

Nope

What about a Turner with their weird rotating pickup?

 

[CBHScott]

Yeah I can dig kitsch done well.

This is not by any stretch.

 

[Motorik]

Clipart-looking shitplank. Looks like a wall decoration from a particularly fake-ass 'retro American Diner' themed restaurant. And this is coming from a guy who loves all kinds of kitschy, junkshop, rockabilly shit. I've got Elvis with Vampira as my avatar, for God's sake.

 

[mongooz]

if it's a single pickup guitar, why does it need THREE volume/tone knobs??

 

[Peen Simmons]

I’m with Motorik. I love chintzy Americana tackiness but this thing sucks. It’s got too many knobs for the number of pickups. S-type body sans contours is just dumb. And aesthetically it misses the mark. This is the Johnny Rockets sig model.

The guitar is dumb, but 3 knobs is perfectly fine if you maggots would actually read and learn what they do.

I did read. I’m just not into the ergonomics of that layout. Also, I’m not certain that a bunch of tapping and tone tweaking is quite the point of a plank with a single f-type bucker. I’d prefer two knobs and maybe some push/pulls for preset tones/splitting.

I’m gonna wire a 4 knob setup in PTB and piss all of you off.
