I actually don't mind this, but some things would need to be changed. A new scratch guard, and perhaps cut off the lower horn altogether while mirroring the angle of the upper horn would be an even better improvement.

I've seen some quite well done travel guitars. They are always going to be a bit odd. This one just looks hacked with no respect for the shape to me.
Poor Adam will have a conniption of that sawn off Tele...
He ain't the only one.Quote:

Bloomfield wasn't responsible for that travisty. It was a subsequent owner.Quote:

Maybe it was done as a lap steel project?
Either way it is poor taste to the extreme.
Yikes...this is a no from me ..

Will the price stay down down?
cheers, Mark.
But, is it the one Francis Rossi “plays” in the ad, or a copy?Quote:

Can't see why it would be a copy but I guess you'd never know.
Even if it was the one wielded by Francis Rossi, the over all crassness would put me off.
Interesting to see how much it gets.
cheers, Mark.
I can see it having some satirical value. Would be fun to smash during a punk show.
Or changing which finger is pointing in said punk band.Quote:

In the right hands, ie. a Eurovision metal band it may look ok?

A further look on that site revealed a couple more wierd and hideous looking things.
DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK!
Some things just should not be seen because it will be so hard to mentally erase.

This is Oscar Prat. He's actually a rather renown extended range bass builder. He used to work from the US, but moved back to Poland about a year ago. There is a very disturbing thread over on the TalkBass Forum about some recent troubles he's been having, including several people paying him to build custom instruments, yet receiving neither instruments nor refunds.Quote:

His instruments are definitely not the prettiest things on the planet, but I do find them fascinating.
This one was built by a guy on Reddit, it's pretty well executed...but man, it makes my head hurt to look at.
The dog also looks ashamed to be included in the pic which is amusing.

I like it. It's a scathing satire of lazy guitar design, like the Reverse V, Reverse Explorer, Reverse Firebird, etc. Would be better if the while body was reversed though instead of just half of it.

If you scroll back a few pages there is a gold strat with a full reversed body.

Yes. it's a right-handed guitar. Bridge angle and control position confirm it.Quote:

Yeah, I was looking at the "headstock" rather than how it's strung up.

How it was strung didn't worry Dick Dale ( RIP ) or Doyle Bramhall II much and I think the lefty in Air Supply also played with it strung rrrs upQuote:

Stumbled across another one this morning.
Just need an upside down drum kit and we can form an Australian band.
