Recommended Posts

No affiliation.  Have you always dreamed of a Gibson Explorer in Swamp Ash?  I didn't think so, but here is your chance anyway at the "poor man's Standard".

Looks like it was made in someone's garage.

Gibson Garage?

That particular wood in natural finish made me think project guitar immediately, too.  It must be that the straight lines are too furniture-like, or maybe such a large body with that wood grain makes one think of a sheet of plywood. 

It is possible the guitar feels great when played.  Trying it out might be fun.

That is the Mini Sized body as well.  They made them out of Mahogany in solid colors & had Mini Humbuckers about that same time frame. 

I thought the proportions looked wrong, too.

I could see that one with a @Stike big sparkle refin.  I'd go with this color:

Hold off on the destruction.

$1800 before sales tax for a miniature, vanilla, swamp ash Explorer? A guitar which answers a question nobody asked.
Something is getting smashed against a rock - either the guitar or the seller.  Possibly both.

Honestly, at what group of musicians is this guitar targeted?
An ash Explorer.  

"I want a guitar with gorgeous wood grain, no stain so that it is as plain as possible, but I want it shaped like a fucking lightning bolt so I can stab my bass player in the eye."

Yeah.  That guy.

ASHTAR!

 

Definition of "ASHTAR" - what a drunk says when they come out of the bar after dark, usually accompanied by pointing and astonishment.
