RobB Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I made a cutting board in high school wood shop that looked just like that. I got a B-. Later, as an experiment, I bolted on a junked Teisco neck. The experiment failed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucSulla Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 That's one fucked up looking table. The leaf doesn't even match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79Sunburst Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I like neck through body guitars though. Just not that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Prof Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Love the look of FBs. Love the look of Corvettes, too. That FB is the guitar equivalent of a C3 Corvette with body panels of contrasting colors and with both doors in primer gray. A waste of effort, IMHO. ETA: In keeping with the FB theme, there's this analog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I remember the "Guitar of the Week" series. Some were pretty nice. But not $2850 nice after that long, especially when it looks like butt. Now, if they had put in some maple laminates in the neck, then it might look a lot better, in an Alembic kind of way. But like this? does nothing for me. Even with a translucent finish, it would still be pretty ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
