I especially love how he has jammed a single coil pickup into a humbucker ring. No question, the guy that built that guitar was a fucking mongoloid.

Disclaimer - Anyone who actually is a mongoloid, please don't take offense to this.

Re: And yet another for the turd gallery

What bugs me most about this particular turd, is that George Lowden runs with the big names in Acoustic guitars! (ie, Taylor, Martin, Larivee)
For him to have built this piece 'o crrrrrrap just totally befuddles me! [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: And yet another for the turd gallery

All I have to say about that, is that if this guy is supposed to be some great luthier, then either the guy selling this guitar is lying about who made it, or maybe George Lowden is actually a really crappy luthier after all.

Luthiery is more than good construction, there has to be an esthetic quality to a well made guitar, otherwise it's still just a turd.

Re: And yet another for the turd gallery

any chance that somebody screwed a Lowden neck onto a home-made body? That headstock looks like it belongs on an acoustic

Those acoustics in that Lowden link looked sweet, but this V looks like an unmitigated turd! I kind of doubt that Lowden had anything to do with that abortion

no matter how much you polish a turd it's still shit.
