weird guitar appreciation


Recommended Posts



Cute Cry Baby guitar! I think the guy should add the fake guitar upper and lower body parts like the ones on those traveling silent guitars to make it easier to hold and play...sounds like he got a good deal and it should be a fun conversation piece. :cool:
Take care, Larryz

They also make a banjo with a guitar neck in guitar tuning which is a similar concept...I guess if you can have a banjo guitar you could also have a mandolin guitar...though neither of them are really guitars IMHO. :cool:

He does more than car guitars. Most of his models seem to be aluminum bodied. The car guitars use some actual car parts.

[font:Verdana]I didn't have any idea where to post this news item, and I didn't want to start a new thread just for it, so I guess I'm putting it here because we might see future guitars made from this. Anyway, I give you...TRANSPARENT WOOD:[/font] https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/scientists-develop-transparent-wood-that-is-stronger-and-lighter-than-glass-1.5902739?fbclid=IwAR25O6Hh0DiTHLsor_nRxv7S9U9ujmwLnH0tNr3vjFzG0G6j1MxfmrU0usc

This seller on eBay consistently offers weird guitars. He uses quality woods and has a fairly high skill level. Also appears to be inspired by Gretsch but maybe more by the Astro-Jet thing than the classic hollow bodies.

I don't understand his designs but they are definitely weird.

Easy enough to follow the seller, at the least check in once in a while and click "See other items" at the bottom of the small Seller Information box on the right side across from the photos.

Nothing too strange today, just another "potato" style body for a project.

It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

So, the Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitars could be made out of clear wood & maybe not weigh a ton, & possibly sound good too. What a world we live in.

 

[font:Verdana]I have a Univox Lucy, which was their Dan Armstrong knockoff. I always loved its sound, but yeah, it weighs a ton. Anyway, this is for the bone nut nuts:[/font] https://consequenceofsound.net/2021/02/guy-turned-dead-uncle-skeleton-into-guitar/

There was something similar in the 80s, I think... when you used the trem bar the tail light came on... a Cadillac fin guitar...
