[Mark Wein]

Wacky, might be cool for some things.

 

[Coda]

...I like it...

 

[reverend1]

I want to like it but it looks cheaply built.

 

[Mark Wein]

I want to like it but it looks cheaply built.

Well, it is. Thats not the point, though. Some of those cheap ass guitars from that era were pretty cool. Example:

 

[Kerouac]

Fun!

 

[tgk03]

yes

 

[Brian Krashpad]

Like. Wonder how it plays?

 

[Aahzz]

Looks like fun.

 

[Coralkong]

Kind of looks like a piece of shit, but I dig it.

I wouldn't pay that much for it. Not even close.

 

[paulskirocks]

Yep... I like the looks, at least...

 

[Denverdave]

Cool in a funky kind of way. That bridge looks pretty suspect though....

Ye old like-o-meter

[Coralkong]

Is it me, or do the fret inlays look like pieces of white electrical tape on there?

 

[Tiltsta]

I like it. Looks wacky and fun.

 

[GergS]

Definately one I'd like to play. For some reason I think I'd be disappointed though...not sure why.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Is it me, or do the fret inlays look like pieces of white electrical tape on there?

they're not. they're either painted on, or white plastic.

 

[Coralkong]

Well, I figured they weren't actually electrical tape....

White plastic, eh?
:cheese:

Is that sort of like the Titanic had Linoleum in it because it was new and "way more awesomer" than hardwood flooring?

what's the difference between the white plastic here and the mother of toilet seat inlays that guitars feature today?

 

[Coralkong]

Well, it is. Thats not the point, though. Some of those cheap ass guitars from that era were pretty cool. Example:

It's only cool because Jimmy Page is playing it.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

It's only cool because Jimmy Page is playing it.

i feel the same way about Les Pauls.
