While watching a Red Fang video, I noticed the guitarist playing something that looked like a cross between an SG and a Les Paul:
Imagine my confusion when the camera panned back to reveal a Fender head stock!!
It turns out this is a seriously hacked up/modded 64 Fender Mustang. I never would have guessed that one.
Is this a common thing?
Why would anyone do this?
Do you guys have other examples of folks rendering classic guitars unrecognisable?
A few examples spring to mind. Not 100% unrecognisable, but Mike Bloomfield's 63 Tele had a bit of work done to it by a later left handed owner.
And that's a pretty iconic guitar right there.
And how about Eddie Van Halen's Ibanez Destroyer
Story goes he did most of the woodwork with a chainsaw....

Some of my favorites:
JJ Cale's Harmony:

Of course most of my favorites are basses...
Barry Oakley's Tractor:
John Entwistle's Fenderbird:
Billy Sheehan's Wife:
Dunno if this counts- are we looking for good or bad? That red fang one is kinda cool IMO.
Here's a few I googled while bored at work.
Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

My opinion too. Half the reason I tried so hard to ID it was because deep down, part of me wanted to get one and was wondering if there was a baritone version.Originally Posted by Sonic Mountain
