E-minor7 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Something tells me the person behind this solution didn't know better. Not sure though - not my picture. But apart from the weirdness from our point of view, it's a pretty obvious way to get it wrong, isn't it. Will pin material play a role here ~ And has anyone ever seen or tried it ?
sparquelito Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I have said it a million times if I have said it once; If it feels right, plays good, and stays in tune, then it's a great guitar. That said, we are bearing witness to a truly unusual set-up.
jedzep Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Funny as hell. I've heard of people getting home by replacing a broken fan belt with a piece of rope. This is close.
slimt Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I have never seen that done.. till now.. .. But , Ive seen lots of tail pieces attatched.. and the string pins still in there holes..
OldCowboy Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Can't say I've ever done it, but I've seen it more than once when I was a kid. The old timers a few generations back seemed to have a way to rig nearly anything.
kidblast Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 that one sits quite nicely in the what the bloody h -e -l -l!?? camp. and I'm no where near a brit by ancestry..
BigKahune Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 . Terrible DIY idea. . . Man, a couple of those pin holes are really stretched oval. But if you don't really care how much more damage can occur . . . . .
Jesse_Dylan Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 is that Willie Nelsons Trigger 20 years ago ? You beat me to it! What gets me is that the treble strings are held in conventionally.
MissouriPicker Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I guess if it works, it works. But, I'd still worry about the stress on heads of a couple of those pins.
jedzep Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 It might be a pic of a piece of junk sitting in the corner of a 13 year old kids room, in which case it would hardly matter how the strings are attached. I'd love to see the full view.
Jesse_Dylan Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 My best childhood friend had a piece of junk in their trailer for years, and he would bang on it with a penny. One day, after I knew a thing or two about guitars, I asked him what it was. IT WAS A GIBSON. LG-0. I liberated that "junk" but unfortunately sold it. :( Hopefully whomever owns it now gave it the TLC it deserved.
E-minor7 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 You beat me to it! What gets me is that the treble strings are held in conventionally. The 3 eyeless gut-strings are probably tied to a nut or a piece of wood, fx 2 half matchsticks, down between the b-plate and pins. I'd like to A/B this (silly) concept. ;-)
