The Return of the "Pizza Slice" guitar

[Blazer]

Okay then, I made this one nine years ago from a piece of maple that was left over and too short and too narrow to make a real body from, part of the inspiration was KK Downing's custom Hamer cut off flying V's.


When I made it it had a Tele bridge and Pickup but it sounded really bad, very Ice Pick so I lend it to a music store's "Freak show" where it hung for over five years.

Last week however I decided to retrieve it because I had an idea on what to do with this "Pizzar". I pulled out the Tele bridge and pickup and replaced them with a Solid Brass bridge and a Duncan Classic Cover JB pickup. It now sounds so much better and it's a fun guitar to play while sitting on my lazy chair.

less is best, or you could add extra spiky bits made of other stuff.

[Dred]

It's quite funky looking!

I think you could upgrade it even more, and making a damn fine shredder!

Looks like it should do the job ok. I sorta like it. Reminds me of the "gorky park" Kramers

Yeah, it's like a Mini-Gorky guitar, or as I used to refer to it: the Dorito Guitar!

Looks similar to a balalika (sp) russian instrument. Anyone got a pic for comparison?
