Ugly guitars -- post yours!

[Donner]

this is one of my favorite sounding guitars Ye old 'Asscaster'

[Donner]

about 15 years ago I was trying to get down to one electric guitar ...

thats a Martin acoustic bridge and its drilled thru like a Tele and has a EMG piezo under the saddle - this was before the electric acoustic craze of the mid 90s

it was also before Dano was relaunched

that "ass caster" is CLASSIC

Hey Donner -- have you ever swirled a guitar body like you do to your pedals?


hmmmmmm....................

never did a swirly guitar.....but I was working with a guy to do aluminum bodies I was going to do some fun stuff with.... still might but others have done t hat since .... still might do some aluminum pickgaurds like my shiny pedals

I would love to see you swirl a strat body......the DONNERSTRAT!!!!

and then build a Red Rooster Booster inside it, like the old Alembic Stratoblaster (used to love those)

dreaming is fun....

at the risk of beign laughed at (which has never been a problem for me!!!)


the year was 1986.

i had long hair, tight pants, and a rock n roll band.

custom strat built for me by Bill Edwards (of the "finger-tite nut" and the CAGED system Bill Edwards Fretboard Logic series)

truly an ugly guitar.

as you can see, i am EXPERIENCED

Wow small world, I lived in Tampa 86-90 and Edwards music was the closest store to my house and I had a couple odd ideas comissioned there, one was pretty good tho....

Actually i started painting guitars in the 90s and then moved over to pedal box about 2001 .... you can see some ofthis in my boxes - the white stripe on the CS boxes is like gibson binding and when I started on boxes and was looking ofr a unique look I started trying to makethem look like chunks of guitars

WHAT????? you know BILL? I used to LIVE in his shop from 84-89 or so....we did a LOT of stuff together. He taught me a LOT>

I was also friends with Eliot from Thoroughbred, etc....

did you go out to clubs then? You had to have seen one of my bands at some time or another.

small world, Donner!

the Edwards "Finger-tite" locking nut -- that story is a SAGA of how to get ripped off in the M.I. business.

Bill has done very well since then, but it STILL pissed off at how he got the shaft from Kahler, Floyd, Kramer, etc....
