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:

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.

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.Quote:
