Some guitars are too funny not to post

"Good condition"

"Purchased last month from Sweetwater. This guitar is excellent but I prefer a thinner neck for solos. Guitar has been contoured to be more comfortable for your picking arm and cut to give access to higher frets."

lmAOOOOOO

Me scrolling down "well those inlays are kinda stupi- WHOOOOO-HOOOHOOOHOOOHOOOOOO!!!!"

Speaking of wtf guitars... I don't know if this is a joke or not, but it is to me.

Ibanez UV7PWH 1990 - 7 string custom Mahogany body and custom Seymour Duncan pickups https://reverb.com/item/63821825-ib...are&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=63821825

At least the seller seems slightly self-aware, based on the explanation, but not based on the asking price.

Since the body looks to be pretty well fucked, and the pickups are possibly fucked, and the headstock is fucked, you're essentially paying that much for an original trem and a bunch of probably junk parts.

Neck looks legit but that body is horrible looking,.

 

[Crungy]

A Vai neck that has the headstock defaced can't be worth a whole lot. If it's legit.... The guy is unfortunately dreaming on that price, even if it plays like god's dick.

Did you scope out the headstock? If the price was bargain-level, it'd be a maybe for the neck, but at that price, I think you'd have to be either super optimistic or a little crazy.

Man that got me, thankfully I was not drinking anything at the time

That headstock is <$50 in materials and an afternoon away from looking stock. Wouldn't scare me away at all.

The body doesn't look awful, I could work with that.

The price, ~$2000 is just too damn high.

Oh yeah....it's hideous, and I agree.

What do you mean? The guy had a furniture maker make it to the exact specs as the original and kept the drill holes to a minimum so it didn’t remove all the tone.

eww those trem and pickup routes are awful. They should have at least slapped a pickguard on to cover up some of that shoddy work

 

[pahulkster]

Guy should have just turned down the tone knob a little bit. Maybe go crazy and change the capacitor.

 

[Crungy]

Nah, better off changing almost everything about the guitar and still call it what it was originally. What any sane person would do!

That would help. But that headstock is so ruined….what were they thinking?

Hoping whoever sane person who buys it would do just that. That would be proper. As an owner of 4 PWHs and especially having 3 1991 models in the past, including an absolutely flawless, dead mint one that stayed in its case for 12 years to having a 1990 one that I’m keeping, these guitars should not be messed with as they are rare. It pains me to see these guitars this way.

Measure twice, cut once.

I knew I was doing it in the wrong order.

 

[Crungy]

Cut only, don't measure

This is the best stupid thing I’ve seen today…is that even the original body?
