I don't care what you say, that thing makes me sick just looking at it.:p

[Whiskey]

Looks like the guitar from Chernobyl.

[Buckethead]

How the....... How can you even grip that fretboard?:confused:

[swanson47]

Hey I found a vid of some dude playing that mutant... or something like it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=f27megLOleQ looks like he has tamed the beast. haha

That's a Harp Guitar.

No clue what that other guitar is.

[swanson47]

Yeah I'm guessing it's a dual harp guitar...?

Looks like a cross between an acoustic a Sitar and a harp lol and it likely sounds wicked too regardless of what it looks like.

[angelicrock]

I think it looks sexy. I used to play those at guitar center but they stopped selling them about 2 years ago. At least all the guitar centers in my area.

Suck putting strings on.:rolleyes:

[bcrich]

Suck putting strings on.:rolleyes:

Ya :D LOL :D it would! Especially if you had the talent to switch between every playable section of the guitarharpsitar or whatever the hell you wanna call it lol during a show or something. Not only that I wanna see the hardshell case that goes with it!

Hell why didn't the company or the private builder add a violin to it as well lol.And a flute!:cool:

[swanson47]

Before you know it you'd have a one-man band!

[Rachael]

Looks like something I'd make in Design Technology... As you may guess I was never really good at that subject.

[bcrich]

Well it is unique I'll give it that, surely a topic of discussion for those who see it!

[noob_saioke45601]

thing reminds me of a swiss army knife.

[rockin ron]

cool but gaudy

[RockerDudeHopman]

I have to admit that guitar is pretty sick. and not in a good way

[ez-one]

it is so ugly I nailed it to the back side of my garage. these are thumb nails so you need to click on them.

[bcrich]

That's not an ugly guitar! It just looks like it needs some TLC. It looks to have a nice neck on it as well. Ever thought about refurbishing Installing new pickups and electronics? What make is it?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Until someone offers you $50,000 or something stupid like that.
I agree refurbish it. If nothing else you get experience with the proccess

[hrblocked]

That guy is amazing :eek:

[ez-one]

its a washburn

[bcrich]

It's a Washburn and you have it nailed to the back of your shed! It looks to be one of the older Washburns and is likely worth a bit of money!

[ez-one]

I picked it up at a pawn shop summer sale for $20.00 its not worth much more. I really don't have any interest in dumpping any money into to attempt to make it a playable guitar, even if I did, I use the little free time I have trying to learn to play, and working on my farm after work, A project guitar is just not in the cards for me at this time. I actually think that it looks pretty good out there,I decided yard art was a better ending for it than the pawnshop probably tossing it into a dumpster.

[ez-one]

it sure did wake up this forum though :-)

[ez-one]

oh I have to retract one thing, its not nailed to the tree, it is just hook trrough the fence and the fence is nailed to the garage

[ez-one]

one late note, its a Washburn BT3 in good playing condition you can buy one for about $125.00 to $140.00 (thats in good condition) this was a pawnshop pig that they could not sucker anyone into giving them first $100, then it was droped to $75, then $50 then they had the "yard sale" to get rid of the junk that they could not sell, they were asking $30 for it, I offered them $20 and they took it. I bought it with the intention of using it as yard art on a project of bigger scale than where it now hangs, but until I get the time it is weathering nicely.

[HARDY0407]

Look at this beauty....

[the real prozac]

Look at this beauty....

The prop guy on The Carson Daly show built a bass similar to this, and the bassist in the band played it. I can't find a vid of it, though.

Odd guitar, indeed, but Andy McKee is awesome! He's fun to watch.

[Chet Ubetcha]

That's awesome. I actually find that guitar absolutely beautiful. It's a work of art, though not what some people consider "traditional", so they don't appreciate it.

[AndJustice4All612]

I like it, too.

[ez-one]

Look at this beauty....

they have one something like this in a local pawn shop they call it a stratocraper

[the real prozac]

That made me LOL.

[KCMike]

I did a search for "ugly guitar" on Google Images and found the following. Ewwww!! The first one is terrible. I believe the 2nd one is a Parker. I kinda dig those.
