Members tbx Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 just returned from nosing around at guitar shops at lunch. there was a used tele-shaped guitar that looked like ... not saying it was or wasn't but it LOOKED like... it had been spray painted metallic green. it had the tele control strip and tele-like pickguard (also apparently spray painted matching metallic green). it had two blackstripes kinda diagonally slashing across the body, and these stripes repeated on the headstock. it had a 'gibson' truss rod cover, which i presume was a joke. anyone ever seen something that sounds like this? it was really an eyesore, to me. no price hanging on it... only one in the shop without a tag i think. they also had a Heritage JR telecopy and a not badly priced G&L tribute ASAT. So i didn't stare at the ugly green striped "Gibson" for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiger roach Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 Sounds like an aftermarket mod by someone with bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tbx Posted April 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 it had NONE - NOT AN IOTA - of the style or grace reflected in the image below.instead it looked like a recent tele knockoff with a cheap paintjob.but i think that whoever did it must have been trying to echo the stripes on this old stang.

Members jjpistols Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 haha - you went to South Austin Guitars - I think that Epi was refinned at home, looks pretty cool to me though - I bet CrackerD would be all over that color green was Jason working? great guys there for the most part, but Jason rules was there a couple weeks ago with Kwsher, played the Eastwood Ramones clones - they got a {censored}load of cool amps too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tbx Posted April 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 depending on sound, playability & if it were kinda cheap, it's just the kinda eyesore I'd like to own . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
