Wow.....

SG and Tele love-child...

NEPATelecaster · January 10th, 2007, 05:40 PM

I don't know...I think I like it...

Skully · January 10th, 2007, 05:51 PM

I was relieved to find this wasn't a thread about someone's third or fourth wife.

BritishBluesBoy · January 10th, 2007, 05:51 PM

Oh dear... it looks like it's in pain... Someone put it out of it's misery!!

TG · January 10th, 2007, 06:16 PM

If the neck pickup was straight and the pickguard lines more relevent/sympathetic/whatever to the body (instead of hacked out with tin snips) it would be OK (ish).

I think I can resist the temptation to bid.

That upper Tele-part has some bad hormonal disease.

Blazer · January 10th, 2007, 07:31 PM

Gosh, I guess my Tele/Paul is a thing of beauty compared to that one.

Cyrithicus · January 10th, 2007, 07:37 PM

If the paintjob wasnt so eye scorching, and the pup placement different, it wouldnt be too bad!

Your LesCaster is a strange beast, but not bad!

fenderix · January 10th, 2007, 07:37 PM

That's a mongrel I don't like.

Best part of it is the stylish way in which the makers name is written.

zombywoof · January 10th, 2007, 07:46 PM

I kinda like it.

durango jon-boy · January 10th, 2007, 08:02 PM

David Barnett · January 10th, 2007, 08:04 PM

Is that a guitar, or a bottle opener?

BadKarma · January 10th, 2007, 08:10 PM

"Is that a guitar, or a bottle opener?"

That would be one big bottle of beer. If that came with the guitar, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Deacon Blue · January 10th, 2007, 08:19 PM

...."made in 1984". Go back into the archives and look at some of the other stuff that was going around back then. Looks pretty normal from that viewpoint.

tele12 · January 10th, 2007, 10:05 PM

I kinda like it too.

guitar mike · January 10th, 2007, 10:55 PM

That's gonna give me nightmares.

Joe-Bob · January 10th, 2007, 11:21 PM

Hmm...you'd think they could at least wipe it down before they took pictures to put it on sale....

JohnnyCrash · January 11th, 2007, 04:15 AM

Ah, it aint that bad.

I'd play her after maybe, four or five beers. As long as I didn't wake up next to it in the morning.

Almost looks like some of those strange Tiesco Japanese made type of beasts from the '60s in some strange way.

Disastercaster · January 11th, 2007, 07:19 AM

That is a monster.

Stefan · January 11th, 2007, 08:33 AM

No... I don´t like it either...

TG · January 11th, 2007, 09:32 AM

It would be OK if it were completely different.

It looks like it was left too near the fire and started to melt but someone got to it in time !
I can believe its "rare" too, lets face it, how many of those would you reasonably expect to sell ?
Blazer on the other hand ...... thats a cool looking guitar Sir !
