[tbonesullivan]

The Traveller Guitar Travelcaster looks a lot neater than that butchered Strat.

I remember seeing those 'Douglas' guitars on Reverb at least two years ago, the guy selling them sure is persistent.  I wonder if he's ever actually sold one?  At least the old 'Dewey Decibel FlipOut' guitars were good for a laugh, but these look like they're destined for the landfill.

That one made me chuckle!

That's one way to cure a 12 pound Strat. Not a smart or pretty way, but a way nonetheless.

They could have trimmed it even more and made it a flying V 😝

I like some of the language here such as “the Douglas carve” and the Fender “Ensenada” bridge.  (Aka fender Mexico bridge)   It adds a touch of class like Corinthian leather!

Genuine "imitation" Corinthian leather - for those on an even tighter budget...

Douglas needs to be kept away from his meth dealer.
