Title: Off topic....but maybe an idea for a weird DIY pedal
Post by: small fish on September 30, 2013, 06:06:15 PM
Hi guys,
sorry for posting an eb** link, but I never saw a guitar like this before and I thought, it might be inspiring for all you FX maniacs out there  :o
I saw that one in real last thursday, and it´s exactly like shown.

I´m not in contact with the seller, nor do I get any advantages buying a guitar at his store.
If it´s too "off topic", plz delete this topic.

regards,
Carsten

I could imagine seeing one of them on the wall of an art gallery...

Well, the shipping is only 25 euros within mainland europe, so I think I'll just take the plunge and see if I like it........  ;)

I actually like the concept a lot---a Dali Strat :)

But, the string action looks to be about 2 inches!

I remember seeing these in Guitar World (or one of the magazines) back in the 90's.

Otherwise I'd swear that was Photoshopped.   =D

That's what I thought!...anyone can photoshop a strat copy.  Till I realized...er...that's the real thing.  I'd play it just to see the look on everyone's face when they first spot it.

I totally agree, looks original but the string action seems to be pretty high, migh be also easy to broke the first 2 strings due to the layout of the headstock...
but Is indeed an Art  piece

No, have a look at the shadows, the string action is fine, it just looks high, but it's just this bent neck.
