C'mon Man - Guitar Idiocy from the Interwebs

[LucSulla]

This is a whole 'nother level.
 

Quote

I got this guitar in 1997. I got it from the original owner. His wife had it made for him and had it custom painted with a picture of her on the guitar. She was an adult film star. She gave it to him as a birthday present I think. He rarely played it.

That cannot be any worse than what hangs out after the show looking for guys who play Charvettes.

You buried the lead there.
It gets worse when you look at the whole picture.
The proportions of that massive, masculine head on that petite body is hysterical and a little off-putting.

She looks like one of those supermodels that exclusively date Hamer SS collectors from New Jersey

Looks like the head of a less pretty Kip Winger on a 7/8 scale lingerie model's body.

...and what's going on with her (?) hands? Are those mittens? And what is she (?) doing? Welding?

I hope not. She's not wearing OSHA approved welding protective gear.
Very irresponsible.

She looks like David Hasselhoff in drag.  Perhaps a German buyer will snap it up.

You don't see it?

[Biz Prof]

Oh, I see it.  I just think "she" looks more like the Hoff than the Kip.   Maybe if "she" had a jaw o' stubble.

I will concede this:  Any dude that tries to hook up with her is headed for a heartbreak.

Kip Winger tried to pick a friend of mine up once who was waiting on his table at a restaurant in Nashville.  After an evening of trying out other lines the whole meal, he finally broke out the, "You know, I'm Kip Winger."

She responded, "No shit.  Definite a point against you, and definitely not the only one."

Was she only 17?

Was her name Madalaine?

Did Kip tell her he was hungry.....for her love?

Does anyone else wonder if one disenfranchised rural Tennessee teenage metal head wanted to see if he could "improve" a Charvette? Or really make it suck?

Not sure if a Charvette could either be improved or made to suck even more than it did from the factory.

Gawd. Once you see it, there is no unseeing it.

Not sure this belongs here; maybe a Madison amp is a gem, there are plenty that I have never heard of.

But this is the first brag about buying from Ed Roman that I've seen in the wild:

I prefer the graphic on my Hamer Vector. 

[LucSulla]

I love tacky guitars, so I'd definitely rock that.  The Hamer.   Not the Hasselhoff Charvette.

The most custom of customs.  Even signed by Neil "Smack You In The Mouth" Diamond.

What in the actual fuck...?  I can’t even with the headstock modification and the tuner placement...

[Steve Haynie]

If someone really wants to customize a headstock to have the tuners situated to have a straight string alignment with no angle at the nut it is possible to find tuners with longer button shafts.  Having a machinist make something would be better than just cutting out a lot of wood.

Refinishing the guitar in turd paste would be better than that Brent-esque modification.
