Rikki_Sixx Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Looks like Anderson’s are auctioning (or have donated) a PRS / Fender “hybrid” of sorts for charity. It’s actually pretty cool looking, already up over £1,000 though! https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carloscaster-The-best-of-Fender-and-PRS-in-one-unique-guitar-/232713654291?_mwBanner=1 Sorry about the mobile link, hopefully it’ll redirect on desktops though.

I saw a news post about this (from today) when I woke and was too tired to realise it was a gag! I didn’t fully click until I saw the Slashocaster, I have to admit 😂 Quote

binky_bass Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Is it a gag? Looks legit to me! Well, they looks like real guitars (made by Andertons Skunkworks as the auction says). Being sold by Andertons eBay handle too... reckon they had these made to sell for charity. Quote

Being sold by Andertons eBay handle too... reckon they had these made to sell for charity. Look closer... Especially at the mismatch between the headstock wood and the neck wood. And the nut area. Like the way the strings coming from the headstock don't line up with the ones passing over the nut. Photoshop job. Quote
binky_bass Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Wrong sir! They are both in fact real guitars! There is an Andertons YouTube video featuring both of these being played and explaining the sale of them for charity. They exist!!! 1 Quote
Rikki_Sixx Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 I love how Chappers put the dead notes down to Slash asking for them to be removed so he doesn't hit the wrong ones I just hope the winners realise they're getting a bit of a gag guitar, and not some slick luthier custom model! The video had me in stitches, especially Slash and Santana appearing 'by satellite' haha Quote
