Members Brian Krashpad Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 Currently, Las Tres Hermanas: c. '72-74 Breadwinner, DeArmond Jet Star, Fernandes Ravelle: But for rarity as = weirdness, possibly my Ric 430. The 400 line were less expensive because they were bolt-necks. Still made in USA and with the same pickups (in this case Hi-Gains) as more pricey ones. To the mid-left below, wish I still had it, you just never see them any more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it was Trans Blk... Yeah, if I can at all afford to, the Ravelle is a keeper, despite the Paul. It's got Duncan Jazz/JB pickups (stock), so a smidge different than the Duncan Custom 5/Gibson 500 in my LP Classic, plus the Ravelle coil splits, which the LP Classic doesn't.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 No fair cutting off the headstock! Hagstrom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 Probably this. Not that weird, but, of course, the LP Junior purists call it heresy because of the humbucker. Apparently, only standards or specials are allowed to have humbuckers. Plus, it has a baked MAPLE fretboard, so that alone puts it into weird, I guess.

Members dmc69 Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 Fender HM strat, completely stock. It's a subtle weird - 'granite' finish, tele pickguard on a strat. Washburn A-series guitar (with fitted case! ) And of course the Squier Supersonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 I had a 1976 Gibson Marauder with Bill Lawrence pickups & the blend knob instead of pickup selectors. HAHA! My brother still has one. Killer guitar! EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xrleroyx Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 I had a Tiesco once. It was weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 For me that would be the Bond Electraglide. I developed a severe allergy to nickel fretwire back in the 80's so this was my only choice. I can dig that. But what was weird about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 That is the first version of the Marauder. After about a year they went to a standard three position toggle switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 I reckon my "weirdest" guitar is the Alamo Fiesta on the left. I still have it and the Hagstrom III. The Alamo is actually hollow, very light, and feels like a toy. But it stays in tune, plays surprisingly well, and has some tone to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blender pot is fun. I think more guitars should use them. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grumphh Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 I can dig that. But what was weird about it? It has no frets. Only steps. As for my weirdest guitar it is a tossup between my metallic green Yamaha SGV 300 (already shown in the thread, somewhere above) and my Steinberger GP4S.Not all that weird guitars though, imo.

Members thecornman Posted November 1, 2011 Members Share Posted November 1, 2011 Looks like a Dingwall Bass made by our local custom builder Sheldon Dingwall! He builds incredable stuff if you have the money for it and has quite a list of big name players that use his instruments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BG76 Posted November 2, 2011 Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 Love the Bond. Never seen one but I remember reading about one. Very cool - they were too pricey for me back then. I had one of those crazy Roland G-707 guitar synths for a while so I guess that would get my vote for craziest thing I owned. Mine was like this but red: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted November 2, 2011 Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 Heres a couple. One is what I call a Banjogit. I like it because it sounds great and has no problem with getting to the top frets. The others are My Rick 480 which has a bolt on neck and a plexiglass V. The picture angle makes the body look smaller than it actually is. Theres a teisco there collecting dust too, nothing real special about that. Someone gave it to me and I think I played it once.
