trapdoorspider Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Some fellow on eBay decided swapping out pickguards or maybe putting on new knobs wasn't the boldest way to give his Studio a new look. After taking care to (somehow) protect the fretboard, he took a shotgun and "blasted it three times, torched it, and burned it." The result is his "Shotgun Blasted Studio" and it's definitely unique: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjmwrx Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Seriously!? :blink: So, someone took a couple of shots at a LP Studio, Burnt it, Broke the headstock and repaired it, then put it on Ebay for 500.00. Not sure who needs to be "fixed" first. The buyer of that abortion or the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-o-steve Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well, a used studio with that nasty headstock break would be bad enough for $500. This guy is a retard for asking that much for this. It isn't worth anything except for the hardware and the electronics LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojjett Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There's no buyer yet. I guess you'd call it extremely reliced. He must have taken his cue from Fender, i.e. Roadworn series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well with this one your definately getting some BANG for your buck But in all seriousness, all he's done is make the guitar even more worthless... ART Yes, Playable NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Adams Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 This guy has obviously seen the 'relic' look on various guitars and decided there's money to be made in this trend. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eracer_Team Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 it was probably the other way around. He broke the neck, tried to repair it, it didn't work out to well. He decided to torch the thing (aka Jimmy Hendrix style) then a light bulb went off in someone's head to sell it on ebay. maybe worth $50 for the pickups Here are the pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunBlues Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I don't know... the most moronic thing about this isn't the shotgun blasts or finish torching... it's this statement -- "pickups are excellent sounding hand picked epiphone pickups" I mean look at fender... they purposely f&c% up the guitar body of strats and teles only to call them "relicd" and sell them for a higher price... kind of the same thing this guy is doing, only he is not a multi million dollar company...

RUSHian Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looks like Gibson at the OK Coral! If it were structure was sound,and played well, I'd buy it for $300.00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinh Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looking at the photograph of the back, it's pretty obvious the body has been smashed into three pieces, and re glued bady with some missing wood. So, we have an instrument with a badly smashed body, a very poor repair, and a broken headstock. Worth only the value of the hardware, maybe $100. so WE SET FIRE TO IT, SHOOT IT, and ask $500. i'm not sure which is the greater sign of insanity, the act itself, or the possibility that there really is a market for this abomonation.
