Members therhodeo Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 It's kinda growing on me. I'm wanting something kinda funky for slide and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 Depends on how much. If you're going for funky that certainly fits the bill. I think it needs a few more switches to go along with the 6 knobs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members erksin Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm not a fan of 3-pu guitars, and I don't know how skinny the neck is - but yeah, it's something I'd try in the store for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members therhodeo Posted November 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 Its something that if you'd see my other guitars you'd never expect me to play. Kinda left field for me. I dont know that I'd ever buy it. I just kinda struck me as cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody needs at least one cheeseball in their harem: Wacky guitars have a funk about them - you won't play the same stuff on it guaranteed. Built-in inspiration...

Built-in inspiration... That's just retro lookin' cool though. The airline is bonkers oddball shaped. Looks like one of those Teiscos that was probably made out of a reject piece of wood that was so butchered that's the best shape they could come up with. If the body was just more rounded and not so it would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theweight Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have a live video from the 80s of The Cure with Robert Smith playing one of these in powder blue. Sounded really good on the video, but of course there was a good amount of chorus and delay on it, and it was going through a Deluxe Reverb if I remember correctly.

There's plenty of wear, but in all the right places (arm rest, cowboy chord positions, ciggy burn behind the nut). I was told I am the second owner - the guy who owned it previously was pretty proud of it - he stenciled 'Tony's Mummy Case' on the original case that came with it...

[/img] Very nice. I love those things but have only played the reissues...which are hit or miss. Are those pretty solid feeling or are they still kinda toy-like? Also good to know that it is "Totally Shielded"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those pretty solid feeling or are they still kinda toy-like? Also good to know that it is "Totally Shielded"!!! Rock fucking solid. Definitely not a toy - I know what you mean regarding the reissues - total crap, IMO. The neck is hard Poplar with two 1/8"x1/4" steel reinforing rods and a good 1/4" worth of Rosewood for the fingerboard. Big 'ol C shape - I've strung it up as a Baritone before (.60-.16 B concert tuning) - didn't even flinch. Original frets with hardly any wear - I don't know what they're made of but they are indestructable - I use GHS TNT Boomers typically and they haven't made a dent in them. Original tuners too. The body is super resonant and loud - with a nasally honk like a banjo. The pickup is very low output (like 3k) - so I use a boost of some sort to bring it up to volume, but it's very sweet. It's just such a cool guitar - the aluminum side dot markers, Masonite body and pickguard, Naugahyde binding tape - totally '50s. I was totally lucky to find it when I did before the eBay craze...
