Members catscurlyear Posted June 14, 2021 Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 I came across this Guitar in a Cash Convertor shop in a town near me ,i didn`t try it out cause it was attached to the wall stand with a cable tie .it looks like some kind of speaker mounted on the body the pickup was also mounted above and looking down on the strings the pickup also had a volume and tone knobs attached ,the strings weren`t impeded by the pickup and the strings rang out lovely to some open tuning ,i think a lot of love went into this guitar and it looked quite sad seeing it in this kind of shop,i wonder what happened to the owner.

I dunno...but the builder should have been drawn and quartered.... £80? that's like $113...the parts may be worth more....😉 Forgive my ignorance, but wth is a 'cash converter' store? Is that like a pawn shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 I think it's cool. The "I don't care what you think" ethos is strong. Makes me really curious what sort of songs got played with it, or if it was just created as a steampunk prop. My romantic side wants it to be an old blues guy, but it could be a guy playing country songs wearing only red, white, and blue speedos and a ten gallon hat.
