E-minor7 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 But this pair is beyond belief, if you ask me. Wonder what party they attended back in the day. Not the quiet kind, one would guess.

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I hope whoever did that did it with a $500 Epi or Chibson and not the real McCoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Looks like something you would leave under a X'mas tree made with red Solo cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I for one think they are quite fine looking, not being done in a slap-dash manner but with care. Text says one is a 1958 and the other 1962. I like them but not $50K worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 So the one on the right has been sewn into a leather jacket ....see the link for the headstock, a bit of a mess IMO. And the saddle position of the one on the left....I suppose you don't actually play them then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once, those gold Rotomatics look right at home: And they both look to have some play wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But check the also embellished Tune-O-Matic saddle - it has moved loose. Not so with the ordinary - real ordinary - ditto in the leather coat. It stands tall and (surprisingly) straight. Code-word is eye candy - I see chocolate, wine gum, licorice, caramel. Upon that bronze, silver, gold. These jumbos make the Depp pirate sibling look like a Salvation Army guitar.

Intonation notwithstanding, it looks to have been shifted so far forward the contraption is no longer sitting over the bridge plate needed to support the weight but at least partially on top of the intersection of the X.
