Some guitars are too funny not to post

[Crungy]

In all fairness, maniac + Kiesel guitar owner have been one and the same through a variety of submissions here.

I've seen the horrible burst but not the Amputee™ model. Yuck!

@Seabeast2000 I was going to post that one too, what an eyesore lmao

This looks like a new solution to a problem that has never existed. Thus it is the problem.

Specifically the problem of upper fret access where you use the thumb only.

Wow….that is just wrong.

I do like the concept. What is the deal with that lower bout? I get why it was cut for fret access but the routing and the display like its optional for some reason is confusing.

Maybe a piece to hang up as wall art?

The dad version of a strandy?

Find yourself a man that holds you the way this 8th string holds the tuning peg.

(Taken from an Aries 8 string that just got listed on the 'verb. Not sure why just that string is so comically long.)

I'm guessing he wrapped the string down the post to get more downforce/break angle over the nut.

When I was in, like 8th grade, I had this really awkward stage of life between being a proper child and a proper teenager.

This guitar is at that awkward stage in between being a Les Paul and being a piece of firewood.

At least your head was mounted in the right place!

I know of at least one teacher who would disagree with that

Ah, a les paulverized model. yes, yes, indeed a loved classic

 

[odibrom]

That was probably the best attempt at an ergonomic LesPaul...

You know, I bet that’s it. Given that it’s just one string, it must have some logical reason.

I saw this pop up on Marketplace today. I can confirm Lafayette is firmly in the “Heritage, Not Hate” belt. Some “American by Birth; Southern by the Grace of God” redneck will buy this as a family heirloom so their children will never forget that the South will rise again. Being a Dime signature is secondary to the true appeal of this guitar for a buyer in that area.
