RobB 5,968 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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... 2 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Biz Prof 4,940 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) 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: Edited January 14 by Biz Prof 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tbonesullivan 2,487 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
