Ugly AF.

Are we in a time warp?

 

[wok]

I actually like it as a work of art.

 

[Knox in Box]

I guess I missed the marker in history where Honduran mahogany was bueno again.

 

[Aahzz]

The tailpiece looks like a foot...and that's the most attractive part. At least it's really expensive.

 

[Flamencology]

I’d love to try it.

But it’d have to be an incredible guitar for me to not destroy it afterward.

Old harvest, reclaimed, and storm fall is still available, just not in quantities or at prices acceptable to large scale manufacturers

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

I actually kinda like it

So it's still ethically reprehensible to just claim it as straight up Honduran Mahogany to me. Roger that.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at

 

[frunobulax]

It's from the future.

To me at least, listing it simply as Honduran mahogany still fuels a market for endangered wood that is still harvested illegally by some.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

NO.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

No thanks.

welcome to the future

 

[Andrew Sak]

This guitar is ahead of its time

 

[jp_nyc]

I look at that tailpiece and think “…It was then that I carried you.”

 

[Denverdave]

I don't dislike it as much as I should. But any guitar that uses a proprietary pickup shape gets a big nyet from me straight up, unless the pickup covers are just hiding standard shaped pickups.
