I don't know about luthiers taking acid, but I was getting flashbacks looking at those pictures!

Isn't acid good for relicing metal parts?

enough acid and they'll look any way you want!

It's amusing how they're claiming to have patented these!

[Newfoundfreedom]

I quite like it. I'd like to hang it on stage with a piece of fishing wire. Along with a phantom of the opera mask and a single white glove. Then play a bass backing track so it looks like the bass player has been involved in an awful experimental invisibility accident.

Well good luck intonating that.

I love it. Got me thinking of doing something similar if I can find a cheap enough 5 string to cut up.

[Happy Jack]

By the time you've done that to it, whatever 5-string you started with will be plenty cheap ...

I notice he's careful to never show in the pictures, the edge where the bandsaw ripped through the body. So maybe that's not so pretty?

Don't think I'll be buying it simply to find out.

[prowla]

They're on AliExpress.

That's just the ultimate in roadworn. "Hey man, look at my guitar, over all the years of playing my forearm has worn the paint down to the wood". "Pah, I've been playing so long I've worn the wood away as well!" 

[Muzz]

I absolutely love that...blimey, I might be poorly... 😕🙂

[bigjohn]

You couldn’t intonate them. It’s just idiocy
