I've got true fantasy GAS today. Firstly, I learned there's a shop in England that will add an Evertune to any guitar for £500. Therefore, this thing tuned to drop A...

And then, classic custom builder GAS for a headless baritone:

So you can stand them up/lean them against shit directly on the ground without them taking a guaranteed tumble as soon as you take your eyes off it.

It also acts as dong support for a second strap because to spend that kind of cash on a guitar to just turn around and do something like that means you got huge balls.

Do people that buy guitars that cost $5000 not buy stands?

It lets you choose the angle at which the guitar hangs. You can order them with 1 button but IMO if you're buying the Anderson sauce, just get the Anderson sauce
I wasn’t aware this was an Anderson sauce. My first time seeing the two buttons was on a Kiesel which are always hideous.

When will Charvel reissue the 750XL? Or the Jackson ATT?



My god, what a genius move that would be. Hard to get one less than $2500 these days.

According to google Tom Anderson has been doing it since the early 80s. I use the bottom button personally

Prior to Tom going out on his own, they did it on Schecter dream machines, too. Of course, that's where Tom got his start, and maybe his doing:

Been really into Baritones (Mainly 6 strings) and Jackson have some of the best on their artist roster.

The Monarkh looks a million times better with the Sweetone headstock good lord.

Also I'm glad Jackson is giving the Surfcaster more love... If only Charvel did.

Speaking of that; yeah a 750XL reissue would be killer. Idk why Charvel is so afraid to touch the Jackson headstock

Is the 2 bottom strap buttons not so you can lean your guitar up against something and have the bottom be more stable/not get scratched up? I know some headless guitars are that way, is it not the same function for an s-type guitar?

The dual strap buttons is a vintage thing from a time before strap locks. Or locking straps. Or throwing your guitar around the world.

Edit: I drool over those Padalka guitars, or at least some of the ideas and the craftsmanship, but I can't find one that I actually like while being a man preferring more reserved appearances.
