Members Furtive Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 There have been plastic guitars: Resoglas by National(?), and a whole bunch of lucite versions by various companies. First lucite I'm aware of is the`57 Strat that was displayed at a NAMM show 2 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yep. Lots of lucite guitars. Dan Armstrong models from the 70s and those horrible BC rich acrylic models from the early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Furtive Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Tiltsta, since this is semi on topic, and I know you like Steinberger and carbon fiber related stuff - I picked up an Ibanez/Modulus carbon fiber neck a few days ago. No truss rod, fretboard is phenolic, and the neck/headstock are coated in polyester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tiltsta Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Awesome. Those modulus necks are top notch, and really rare with the ibanez stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
