Ok guys! we can start our new game “find the flaws”

Ask and ye shall receive.

Which idiot would make a nut like this? This is so dumb and makes the nut only more prone to breakage.

Besides: That body is so laughably thick, who designs this crap?
There is no reason why this thing has to be so thick, i.e. heavy.

You just have to look at the whole thing. Looks like a massive ball sac with a teenie weenie. 🫡
The control knobs are so close together that it is quite easy to mess with the 2nd one by accident. All these details which cannot be addressed by a guy who does not play guitar himself. It shows.
And receiveth thou hast.

Based on every other Lotus with 2 knobs, it's probably fair to say that was a choice by the customer. You can tell the customer is an imbecile by the choice of top and matching pickups.

I believe he had a significant hand in "Rusti Lotus Prototype #001", the whereabouts of which we are still to ascertain
You can throw anything at Rusti Guitars. As long as it's 5 k, you got a deal with the devil.

This is like one of those TV shows that should have stopped after it's first season before becoming a meme of itself and losing all the intrigue of the first.

A "warning" thread is kind of pointless and disingenuous if it just becomes a hole for the OP to troll, shitpost and revel in.
That's the beauty of it: the thread has done a complete 180 and now serves as a warning against potential luthiers/sellers to stay away from OP, lest they fall prey to his scrutinous gaze.

@DirtyPuma can you tell us anything about this guitar?

I absolutely adore this guitar because not only is it cool as shit but it had people spending $20k a decade ago for recreations of what essentially an amalgamation of dumpster pieces cobbled together by Van Halen when he was high out of his mind.
