Also, I sometimes play a Mustang with a fatty boombalatty Humbucker in it. It only gets comments from old men who look like George Tabb.

I have a Fender squire body I bolted a tele neck onto...why because I had a guitar body and a guitar neck and why not? It only has one pickup, the place where the other pickup is supposed to be is hollow.

petey_carnum used to have this thing he called a banjtar - it was a banjo neck bolted onto an electric guitar body.

(xpost) The reverse arrangement - banjo body with guitar neck - is called a Gitjo.

I've heard of a banjolele.

I wish I had a huge pile of smashed-to-hell guitars that I could use for parts. It would be perfect if every guitar that some teenager smashed up while pretending to be Townshend/Cobain/Hendrix could just materialise as a giant pile of firewood and chrome in my living room.

My favourite freaky-tar. Mandocello on a Danelectro longhorn body.

Wow, that's going to sound, er, "resonant" at the very least.

$275 from subway guitars the home of wierd freaky guitars. I think they bought the Danelectro parts bin when Danelectro went bust in the 70s and build NOS and custon Dan-es.

This still is a really sad time for me. I still wish that a huge pile of broken guitars would materialise in my living room...

All my guitars are frankentars in that I've at least swapped out the electronics / pickups. I'm already feverishly plotting what I'm gonna do when I get back to the states in Nov.
