It looks like they bought a bunch of Korean or Indian bottom feeders, and took a chisel to them.....Hey, what ever floats your boat..........Most of us would rather have a plain real guitar..........

Re: Dark Star Guitars Opinions?

Well, I read everything on the site, looked at all the pictures, and I have to say, I'm intrigued. Most of his guitars look like shit IMHO, but it appears that he has a certain talent, especially in the carving department, and a few of the guitars look really quite cool. The "Gigerish" ones are especially nice. His headstocks are ugly, period, and he seems to have a problem with control layouts, pickup placement, etc. However, his prices are super low for this type of thing, and I'm sure if you were to order a guitar from him, you would be able to specify such things as controls, pickups, and headstock.

Interesting to say the least. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Interesting? All I could think off was the old saying involving polishing and a turd.............

I liked some of them, but I would have to see them in person. I have to give him credit for being original and taking chances. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

The "Serial Killer" model on the guy's site might be what was meant by the "SK" model. Not bad looking, but this all sounds a little too good to be true at those prices...

Re: Dark Star Guitars Opinions?

i'd give an A for effort, but most of those look like they came out of a "dark star".

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Did you mean the "SV" model? I didn't see an "SK" listed in the gallery.

All of those guitars are probably, uh, "an acquired taste". I did find it odd that the SV model has a fine tuning tailpiece with a full-on Floyd-style locking nut and retainer bar. Seems odd to me to have a locking nut without a trem... [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] Also, the headstock on that guitar looks a lot like an Ibanez.

Re: Dark Star Guitars Opinions?

The serial Killer is the model I was talking about it to me is the only thing on the site I liked. I like the Giger kind of feel to it, & I love odd shaped guitars.

Thanks everybody for their honest opinions, That's just another reason why I like comming here on a daily basis.

Re: Dark Star Guitars Opinions?

The only one I liked was the green SG sort of thing. But, I would want it in a 6 string. I am not a fan of the 7's.
