Guitars that you want but should not want

Honestly, I'm not a strat fan, period, but the shape is appealing to me, along with the rich heritage of the instrument it's self.

I want that Duesenberg with the fag holder

One of my mom's high school friends has that Minarik isaac eaton posted. It's an absolute beast to play - way jagged but looks sweeet.

I keep feeling like I want a strat - I don't like the look, feel, or body, but the sound is classic. Something with just a neck and middle PUP would be awesome (different body, of course - maybe even single cutaway).

my god really?

I played a minarik like that just one time, and the sound was so amazing, the body actually does alot for the sound, and it was so pretty, and they play extremely well too. an eyesore i would say, but its worth it for that tone those things get. I want one.

Ultra's Jaguar. I already have a Jaguar. Why do I want a BLUE one so much?

friend of mine had one - so awful: like playing an acoustic that had humbuckers glued on -real slut of a guitar since it plays badly, looks tacky, but still so would..

Gibson? Check.
Humbuckers? Check.
Sunburst? Check.
Notoriously badly balanced? Check.

I'd swap my Jazzmaster for one in a heartbeat.

Don't think there's anything contentious about the Firebird, especially that one- it's gorgeous! [edit] not the reverse one, the one above. I think reverse Firebirds look shitty.

I'll have another "that Duesenberg with the fag holder" and add "that Duesenberg with the crocodile skin".

And some more pointy shit:

And a Parker Nitefly:

There is considering they look a million times better than they play.

My point entirely - I prefer them, when conventional wisdom is, you're not meant to.

'A' width 24" neck and an original finish and I'd buy one of these as soon as I saw one.

No bridge pickup = completely useless.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:43 am

bollocks.

i love neck pickups, bridge pickups just never qutie cut it with fuzz. and vice versa for crunch.

hence i don't really use bridge pickups, especially on the jazzblaster. the 76 mustang's bridge pickup is really quite meaty though so i use that often.

Post by **Mike** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:45 am

I couldn't live without either, but I could get by without the neck. Not so the bridge.

James · Post by **James** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:48 am

The only things I don't like about that guitar (well, the A width version I'd want)

- The amount of pickguard screws make it look like part of a submarine
- I don't have one

The bridge pickup thing doesn't bother me at all. Perhaps it wouldn't work well in a band setting but I rarely use the bridge.
