What the heck is this "thing"

Post by CBbass »

Hey all,

Previously owned a 69 compstang, sold it. Only guitar regret I've had so I'm getting another.

On ebay the other day I saw this.

My god! I have never seen anything like this especially not on this forum and definitely not in the classifieds for sale by Narco Martenot just recently.

Thanks! :D

Whilst I do think it's one of the ugliest and strangest mods I've seen done to any Fender, I like how unique his artistic imagination is. Anyway, just joined so haven't really heard of Nacro Martenot before. I've been a member of offsetguitars for 2 years and haven't seen him on there.

No disrespect to the guy... I still do find it ugly though! :P

The pickup is repainted with triceratops bone dust.
That's all that I can think of right now.
