Random Guitar Hall of Fail…

This is not Donald “Duck” Dunn’s Signature Bass Guitar

Quack, quack, quack! You ain't never seen a bass like this before. Someone probably tried to channel the spirit of the legendary Donald "Duck" Dunn himself through this duck shaped bass. Just in case Donald Duck Dunn name doesn't ring a bell, here is a reminder :...

Where’s That Damn Volume Knob ?

A map and a user's manual are required to use that bass ! The bass is clearly an Alembic bass. Alembic made some basses with a sick number of control knobs and switches. Yet, it is unclear it this bass is a real bass - a Pinterest user says it is a Mark King 5 Omega...

The Telecrapster : Someone Pooped a Telecaster

This is supposed to be a rattlesnake... You can see its head right above the neck pickup ! The carved poop rattlesnake is not the only weird thing about this guitar. It looks like the builder tried to mix the hardware and electronics of a Telecaster with the bottom...

You Don’t Wanna Mess With These Guys…

No you don't ! I wouldn't want to mess with them, they look like they can chop down a tree or a foe with equal ease. Looks like they're ready to rock the stage, and possibly conquer a planet or two. I'm pretty sure they're in the wrong band, they should be in a...

Gibson SG Eden of Coronet… Really ?

“All along we’ve been striving to expand our business to different sectors of the consumer market and ‘Eden of CORONET®’ is definitely an important milestone for what we target to achieve.” Consumer market ? Milestone ? Really ? REALLY ? The SG Eden of Coronet is a...

Get a Grip on the Gorgon Guitar with a Stone-Cold Stare

The Medusa guitar that rocks to tone! Its riffs are so deadly, they turn the audience to stone! Ain’t that a mythical riff-maker?

The Zhitomir Guitar: A Soviet Masterpiece or a Deadly Weapon?

The Zh guitar is not for the faint of heart. It’s like the devil’s own instrument. And from what we’ve heard, it’s like Satan himself is playing a giant bucket.

This is an ESP, is it ?

Just in case you didn't remember which brand it is. I like the ESP URL too ! Next step, put a QR Code and let's roll... Well, in case you're still wondering... This is an ESP Flag 30th anniversary guitar. It has an alder body, and a maple neck with a rosewood...

18-string Djent Monster !

First, the Fender 9 necks guitar. Now, the Ormsby Jared Dines 18-string djent monster. I guess it's fair to say that NAMM 2018 has turned into a NAMM freak show ! Source : Music Radar

Ready to Explore the Explorer ?

I've seen simpler interfaces on a nuclear reactor. I'm pretty sure you could run a small city with all the controls on that guitar. Not sure what kind of music you can play with this guitar but it must require an engineers degree to operate it. How many knobs would...
