Some twisted heads twisted a head

[E-minor7]

You'll never guess the southern part - (no it's not a Southern Jumbo).

 

[gearbasher]

Since you posted it in the acoustic section and it has a crown fret marker, my guess is a J-200.

[egoidealmusic]

I'd second the J-200 guess, though I'm not sure why anyone would do that to a J-200!

[MorrisrownSal]

Without the scroll I’d want to say 60s firebird or thunderbird?

[Murph]

That thing is creepy.

[Twang Gang]

Not enough strings, but those curly headstocks usually came on Mandolins.

[kidblast]

Well,  Alls I can say--- if that IS a J200,  someone needs to be slapped..

really hard...

 

[RBSinTo]

What was that slogan they used to put on their headstocks?

" Only a Gibson is ugly enough" 

Feh.

Post 2 and 3 nailed it like gunslingers of old - gearbasher, egoidealmusic 1-1. Then Kidblast arrived, , , creator, , ! take care out there. . 

Know very little about it. But sure, a mandolin h-stock was mentioned as inspiration. To be frank I think it's a freak.

[Kwlsky]

The headstock looks like it got caught in a meat slicer. 

[egoidealmusic]

This just makes me sad.  I'll take the blue guitar or any of the others we've discussed.  This is just wrong...

[gearbasher]

I can't un-see it. I'll have nightmares tonight.

[Dave F]

Reminds me of the Martin's with the Bigsby headstock and the Fenders with the big strat  heads

 

[egoidealmusic]

No...just, no... 😉 

[Holiday Hoser]

I'm totally in the camp of "It's yours. Do what you will" 

[DanvillRob]

Somehow that headstock style looks good on an F-Style Mando....and ugly on a guitar.

Lzzy Hale might want that headstock on her next signature Explorer guitar, but it has no place on a (S)J-200.

How much would that sell for if it was the one David Gilmour owned that is being sold now on Reverb?

I had this for a while, but didn't take to it.

Holy Mackerel!!

Let's see. I could buy that guitar, or a really nice house.

Oh wait, I can't buy either. But that is a crazy price!

[Mr. Paul]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

[DanvillRob]

What kind of gall does one need to sell a guitar for $325K and then charge $150 to ship it!

DanvillRob,

Nothing new here.

If you peruse any expensive guitar listings on ebay, Reverb, or wherever, you'll see this is the norm.

Everything is sold a la carte.

Nickel-diming without shame if there is extra money to be extracted from the buyer is the new philosophy of many sellers.

Yeah.... simply amazing.... I suppose if you have a quarter mil to spend on a guitar, $150 for shipping wouldn't phase you.
