What some people do to a Scarab

[specialk]

And they want $534. This is nuts:

An improvement.

That poor carcass deserves a Viking burial.

Even Uncle Greg couldn't save it.

[Travis]

At first I thought it could be a cool little travel guitar until I got to the pics of the scalloped fretboard. It was at that exact moment that a boner died...

Maybe the guy lives next to the nuclear power plant where Homer Simpson works. That would account for those mutations.

This "guitar" has been on eBay for years......

[Sasha]

So someone didn’t like Scarab shape, then he upgrades guitar by cutting pieces out of a body and repaint it...🤦‍♂️

[tbonesullivan]

What were they trying to make? a guitar that looks like Gumby?

[HamerCustomEr]

I feel like I just saw a picture of a crime scene!

[ARM OF HAMER]

                                                          WHY?...................................................... but then stranger things have been done. GIBSON CORVUS. 

[JGale]

^^^^^Gibson Pac-Man model.

This one is for sale for quite a while. The seller is famous too.

And,in the beggining had some hardware on it,  like bridge pots etc, years on ebay

[kizanski]

Almost $600 USD with shipping.
The seller needs to get sober, rub the Sandman out of his eyes and come back down to the planet Earth.
Then set fire to that piece of shit already.

Even the tuners are messed up.

Oh yeah. It's been on my ebay watch list for at least 10 years...I'm still waiting if the price is gonna come down to $150 may be :)) I'd turn this setneck it into something really nice

[JustKid]

Decided to drop him a line asking if after 10 or so years of trying he'd consider selling it cheaper.
His respond:

I retire in 5 years,
try again then.......

He is a funny guy, I'll give him that, although not very smart

Yeah, like it would stay in tune after the "custom mods".

The nicest thing you could turn this into is if you ate it and shit it out.  

Again, an improvement.

Yeah this is the old "land mine" victim ala Johnny Got His Gun.

Probably started it's life in the Serbian infantry and lost it's arms and legs in Bosnia.

You‘ve received a very friendly answer my dear.

[Toadroller]

Oh lordy, the upper frets are scalloped, too.
