tauzero Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Can't be He Who Can't Be Named, he'd convert a 6-string bass into a 4-string for people with sausage fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinorange Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I can’t decide what I like most about that horror. Is it the extra peg aimlessly plonked on the top of the headstock in such a similar shade to the other pegs that you’d never know it was added or the practically invisible neck shim? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally love the random hole in the middle of the headstock, the bridge is also a masterpiece of engineering! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a more rudimentary take on the guitar monkey grip? I also hadn't spotted the genius idea of reversing the pots so your controls are easily accessible from the back. Why didn't I think of that on my recent renovation.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Christ in Londis, that is criminal. Even for him. The hole in the headstock! The extra tuner! The bridge! The rear mounted controls! The bit of cardboard under the neck! Is it possible he's some sort of satirical Chris Morris-esque performance artist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite part is that the B string completely avoids the entire length of the fretboard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Presumably the C string is the intonation reference, hence not needing an adjuster. Just move the bridge to correctly intonate the C string and then, er, intonate all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
