Dang art major is pandemic.



 
It's a fatback. It could still be a nice scalloped standard thin.
 
That thing looks like it would crumble to pieces if I touched it.

Also, there is a special place in hell for people that put oil finishes on Goncolo Alves necks.

 
"aND hURRY!!!! i JUST RAN OUT OF cRYSTAL mETH!"

I don't know why everyone dislikes this? I think it looks awesome, I've never seen anything like it  :glasses9:

This might explain the dislikes, but I wanna know why this would break?


The only thing I reacted to was the Fender decal. I don't understand the thing with branding something with something that it's not. Like, if somebody gets an Epiphone why re-brand it to Gibson, or LTD to ESP or Squier to Fender and so on

Or, haha. Let's order some Warmoth necks and put Mighty Mite decals on it  :icon_biggrin:
 
Cederick, look at the zoomed-in photos. It stops looking like tiger stripes and you can just see what's actually been done to it. It's exactly like if you let a kid attack it with a Sharpie.

And while you're looking at the zoomed-in pictures, take note of the sheen on the finish. It looks like the whole neck probably has an uncomfortable texture to it.

Haha ok, didn't look close, just looked and thought "yeah!!!"

-And I'll bet Little Nicky's pop has a full refrigerator of whole pineapples just waitin' for this douche-bag!  :evil4:
 
There's no accounting for taste. There was clearly a lot of time put into the thing, so it must have seemed like a good idea at the time. And for as much as he's asking for it, it would seem he still thinks it was a good idea. If it was me, it'd be in the fireplace already. Hardwoods burn slow and hot.
 
That is hideous.  However... that seems a lot more salvagable than the one with the poorly applied poly over a wenge neck, with the badly painted logo & faux binding.  You know: the original "art major".  [shudder]  I don't even want to look for that thread again.

I could see a good sanding taking off most of the ugly sheen on the headstock & back, and polishing the fretboard might make it functional.  Not that I'd even consider spending that much money on what is otherwise ruined wood. . .

The art major's masterpiece was also covered in white-out.
