jeremy c Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just clicked on an advertisement link for a guitar. Very strange: Solid Hardwood Body Solid body construction on most electric guitars allows for a strong and rugged instrument, and is less expensive to create than a hollow-bodied acoustic guitar. Maple Neck The extension with strings where the fingers are placed to play notes. Maple construction is a strong material to withhold the tension the strings put on the neck. Rosewood Fingerboard Also known as the fretboard, this rests on top of the neck. Die-Cast Chrome Tuners Tuners are the pegs at the end of the guitar that allow the strings to be individually tuned. Not only that, but it's a really ugly guitar (unless you live in Green Bay, Wisconsin). flying cheese wedge guitar Free download of my cd!.

kenfxj Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 That may be the stupidest guitar I've ever seen and I've seen Rick Nielsen's guitars. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's really that bad but you'd probably have to explain to people that those are not soap bubbles. I'd be worried about the lack of wood mass behind the bridge.

J. Dan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not only that, but it's a really ugly guitar (unless you live in Green Bay, Wisconsin). I think you hit the nail on the head. This is likely not being marketed to musicians. So they are using very basic things as "features" for somebody who is a non-musician. This looks to me to be a novelty. Their market is Packers fans, not musicians. Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked.

b5pilot Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not only that, but it's a really ugly guitar (unless you live in Green Bay, Wisconsin). I think you're required to wear a cheese hat and Packers jersey when you play that. or not. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russkull Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Merciful heavens, it's $500. I can think of soooooooo many other ways to spend that kind of money other than buying a Lego cheese guitar. PS. I bet GHS loves this endorsement: GHS Strings GHS is a top brand in the global market of guitar strings.

I first see the electrical cord and i chuckle. Then I see the way the wires are routed and my eyes widen. I quietly say 'no..no...' as it's plugged in. I squint like a kid at the theater in the 50s watching 'The Blob' for the first time. I want to look away, but I just can't. Hell of a tone, though. Play. Just play.

A portion of the proceeds got to a charity, so the hope is the Green Bay fans, not just guitar players, will buy this as a novelty, to root for their team, and to throw a few bucks at a good cause.

Preacher1958 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sorry. I've been a Packers fan for 50 years and I wouldn't be caught dead with that ugly piece of junk. It's not right till it sounds right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
