I suddenly have an urge to play Cat Scratch Fever.
Scott.
While this "log" guitar is a bit slightly. It's one of the most important guitars in history. Les Paul literally cut one of his archtop guitars in half and replaced the center with a log so he could mount the pickups to and reduce feedback. Or something like that.
Anyway, that is pretty much the first concept build of what latter became the legend that is the Gibson Les Paul.
I have to agree though, Gibson have come up with some real shockers.
The "Log" sure is historical... but all apart and naked like that... it's Ug-Lee! lol. I believe the amp was built into the section that is semi-disconected...?
A few more... Some famous, some just ugly & Po'! lol
nd a few more for tonight cos I LOVE this thread:
Not a guitar and not "Ugly" above, but interesting enough to share.
Just jam a neck wherever you can! LOL!
Ah yes the the Pikasso guitar. Apparently Pat Metheny prompted this guitar by asking luthier Linda Manser "How many strings do you think it would be possible to fit on one guitar"
Just jam a neck wherever you can! LOL!
