We got this weird thing in the other day called a tenor guitar, made by Martin. It is like a huge ukelele, or a smaller guitar with 4 strings made of nylon.

how does it play? I was just reading about tenor guitars in a Lindsey Buckingham interview last night.

Re: Most stupid ideas to wrought upon guitar histo

- Manufacturers selling USA handmade instruments as well as jive-ass clunkers made en masse by cheap labor under the same brand name.

- Stereotypes of guitars such as "Charvels and Jacksons are 'metal' guitars" or "Telecasters are country picker guitars" etc...

- Veneered tops/backs to accomodate the use of plywood, multi-piece bodies, crappy wood, etc.

- Endorsees who never touch the products they pitch other than photo ops.

I have no problem with all the technical innovations listed above. Somewhere someone somehow loves Wonderbars.

I have a three humbucker guitar with all pickups tapped and three three-way mini-switches. 81 selections!

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]That thing would be such a waste in my hands. I prefer one bridge hum wired to a vol. pot, then straight to the output.

WOW - lot of Kalher bashing in this thread. I will purchase any SD Charvels with Kahlers as I would not want any of you to suffer any more!!!!!

Yeah, I know - wishful thinking!!!!!

On a serios note, an auction reminded me of another - the gibson "custom shop" explorer from the mid-80s that looks like someone took a bite out of it :

The 2nd-high bidder on that Explorer is stephenbruno, the same guy who just reneged on my Charvel auction because "his dad was sick".
Lying sack of schit is what he is!

Another piece of **** in guitar design: the f*cking lipstick pickup. I hate those things.

Now some people see what I see in the bumping. Glad to know Tekky and I weren't alone.

Did someone already mention painted fretboards? I never got why some guitars had bright red or neon green fretboards... [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Most stupid ideas to wrought upon guitar histo

I hate painted fretboards as well.
