Some guitars are too funny not to post

A super thin Eclipse with lotsa abalone? Wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd play it.

You know, there was once a video on a sketchy site titled "I bet you can't watch all of this!" So, I took the implied dare and gave it a shot... I made it about 2 minutes into a 3:48 second video. I'll never sleep again... (my brother only made it 30 seconds...)...

This thread is almost as painful.

I'm guessing someone took a perfectly good Eclipse and got a little carried away with a belt sander, then neglected to oil or coat. Maybe I missed the point, though.

 

[vilk]

no I think that is the point lol

Thank god they didn't ruin it completely, it's still got the abalone!

It's the best tonewood.

 

[pahulkster]

Seriously wtf? Woodshop class or a multi thousand dollar guitar?

 

[TheStig1214]

Yeah it's Halo and yeah it's just a digital guitar... But I realized you can choose a blank body on their custom shop web tool and spec it out without picking a body shape.

Are my eyes ....ed, or is that an absolutely massive gap in a neck pocket? From the looks of it, you can keep change in there.

Edit: the more I look, the more it looks like unsanded finish.

Hell, can we just make this the official "hilarious guitars we found on craiglist" megathread?

lol those are on reverb for like 3k right now.

 

[pahulkster]

3k is a huge ripoff unless they are some kind of US Custom deal. I want a Scoop and they can be had for $500 or so for a nice one.

Dana Scoops are badass.

They did remove the abalone binding.
