Hey guys,
just found a Gretsch Astro Jet on Olivias Vintage Guitars and I really like the weirdo look of it. Its too expensive, like all guitars at OVG...

I like it but I'm kinda funny that way. I like the oddball stuff.

I like it. It's like a Jag-stang, except instead of being a Jaguar and a Mustang, it's an SG and an SG with elephantitis.

I like all the hardware and stuff but the actual shape puts me off massively.

Nuke from orbit.
It's possibly the only way to be sure.

headstock looks melted, gretsch comes out with a lot of oddball shapes in their lineup other than their sextastic LP models, like that bo diddley rectangle thingy

Cool. So, if one ever gets listed in the classifieds here it looks like it's just me and BacchusPaul.

I usually like wonky big bodied electric guitars, especially if they have that right vibe when you play them...I don't think any vibe could save this one though, it is just too awkward.

It has some appeal, but it's too much to take in all at once.

Looks like an SG-mutant kinda thing. Maybe if the top horn was a tiny bit smaller.
Probably sounds real cool. At least I hope, haha.
