Would you buy a handmade guitar?

No, they are made by a local guy (from Germany, not China mind you :p ). Ronny Scheithauer so it probably reads RScheithauer.

 

The headstock on the red one has a different logo.

Body shape reminds me a little of the Red Special and I also saw on a Brian May page that he built a clone of that. Wished the clone was up for sale :lol:

frets, that's a guitar costing over 200 dollars probably that you're talking about.

Weird ingredients, the body and neck are made from Luana
:confused:
TusQ nut, SD Phat Cat & Rockinger Telly pickup on the red one, Rockinger PAF & Seymour Duncan Vintage Broadcaster on the white.

 

And a Mele Kalikimaka to you too!! :confused:

 

I couldn't find anything in teh webz about luana wood. But here's a pic of Lana Wood. This wood doesn't float...:p

Depends on the hands doing the building. Take a chance on an unknown quantity? Only for a rock bottom price if I can't play it first to be sure there isn't something completely messed up.. Based on what I'm seeing there, I wouldn't cuz I don't like that style of guitar. But if they had something that appealed to me, maybe, if it was cheap enough..

I like the look and the white one has been gigged so it should be at least somewhat playable. :D

Absolutely I would buy a hand made guitar.


But like R.C. pointed out, depends on the builder, but from someone I know, trust, and have seen his work, I would actually prefer a handmade guitar.

 

 

I don't think that he's building them for a living, the RS clone was the only reference to one of this other builds I could find.

 

He's a private seller, too so I could not return it.

Oh, I was speaking generally.

 

In this particular case, no, for the reasons you mentioned.
