They've been pushing these lately in the various retail catalogs...you may as well put a black floyd rose on them.

Some one will buy them though. To each his own.

I used to do that "Spin Art" stuff at local school fairs and carnivals. All you do is put the paper (in this case a guitar body) on a fast spinning turntable and drizzle different colored paint on it. That's art? It may be an interesting visual effect, but art it ain't. "Everyone is unique" - uh, yeah - I guess so! So are my kids' elementary school art projects! This is really funny if you think about it.

I like them, therefore it's art to me. ;)

They remind me of the bowling ball Strats

Y'know, with a 'bucker in the bridge and a chrome Floyd, I'd be tempted.

I think they're cool, and I bet they sell a bunch.

Gotta have an industrial sized spin machine for a strat though!

tenstrings · September 23rd, 2003, 05:47 AM

NashTele · September 23rd, 2003, 05:39 PM

They're not my cup of tea, but my wife thinks that they look cool.

yeah, those are worth a lot today..... not.

Back in the day (when they came out) Johnny A. had 4 of 'em!!! and in each of the three finishes with one extra. The majority of bowling ball Strats went to LaSalle Music in Boston... they had something like 20 of them and I think only 30-50 were even made.

But then, check my avatar...

It looks neat-o to me - I bet it'd be a great match with my tie-dyed shirt! Like, psychedelic camoflage! The guitar would, like, disappear, once I strapped it on!

Say, what was that you sprinkled on my Wheaties this morning, Dear?

...one night I had a few too many beers and two state fair corn dogs, then went riding on the bumper cars and made some really great art in the bathroom.

looked just like that!
