665 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I always wanted an expensive custom shop LP that looks like... an ugly... 40 year old plaid shirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew365 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't like it, but it probably looks completely different under stage lighting. A lot of the artist modified guitars that get made into signature models, I think are just as ugly as this one. I won't name names so as not to offend anyone that has one.

Eracer_Team Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have no doubt it would raise the value of any guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobF_ Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I wouldn't mind a totally custom paint job on an LP. Not *that* paint job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I don't think it's that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I wouldn't do that to a LP......but, to each their own. i'm sure someone wanting to relive their Dead-Head daze will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I don't like "that one", but I do love a custom paint job on an LP. I feel they are a good platform for a custom job......something about the hardware and the binding acts like a frame for the art work. I think part of what I like is that so many people are afraid to do anything to a LP. There is this religious "sacrilege" attached to doing anything unusual to one........ Again, I wouldn't choose that one, but I'm not a "tasteful burst" guy by any means. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Sutherland Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 yeah, looks like a plaid shirt... would probably be more at home in Seattle ca. 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I don't think it's that bad. I don't either.... It reminds me of my optical view when I first arise from a good night of drinking :blink: ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblue212 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Different is putting it very nicely. I'm not against a custom paint job. I just think THIS ONE is the most hideous thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Very special, but if it's a nice player with good tone, why not? Has a nice age, too. Specs seem a bit unclear though. However, the only thing which makes me worry besides the price is the bridge adjustment - looks as if the fretboard was slightly tilted to the treble side... ... could be the very reason why it's still in stock after 18 years. Guess that would feel strange to the fretting hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ehhh. Part of me think the color is cool and a part of me thinks it's hideous, haha. Definitely unique, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963DaveG Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Guess I'm old school but this does nothing for me at all! I do like some of the newer colors they are putting out but mainly I'm a traditional colors type guy lol. But to each their own as they say.

Jimi Mac Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well... It's not a "tasteful burst." Don't think much of it myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbsf1 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I must be the only person who thinks that this looks quite reasonable. I wouldn't have it on any of my guitars however it looks like the paint job is done well, not like someone sanded it down and splashed on some dulux. Under stage lighting I can see it looking quite cool, it would definitely stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Smith UK Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I quite liked it :-O I wouldn't buy it, but I'm so tired of the sunburst models everywhere and continually touted as "the holy grail" it's nice to see something a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
