assorted weirdness
Worlds okayest guitar player.
You know, these guitar makers come up with some truly bizarre ideas on what a guitar could look like, either that or I'm too much of a traditional Conservative....hahaha.
Yikes.. Some good ones there. I have to dig out some photos of a very strange bass guitar I restored back in the 90's. Came to me in pieces and looks a like a banana.
Actually never mind I found a photo online - not a bass - but looked exactly like this (the yellow one) - no trem arm and I had to make a new scratch plate for it.
Heres a bass version in blue...![]()
Ah, the Flying Samurai/Flying Banana. Apparently they play fantastically and are quite sought-after.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
I had a friend at University (back in the early '80s) who had the bass version of the blue Yamaha guitar in the top photo of the three pictures. Seemed OK but I never had a chance to try it plugged in.
take a wonder through ESP Japan's custom shop and artist series....more weirdness than even I can handle.
