The George Jetson signature model.

I christen thee The Flying Wasp!

 

[Flatspotter]

That's not a volume knob from a vintage radio. It's a TV channel selector knob. Because of this transgression, I condemn this guitar.

 

[Chicken Man]

Whoever built that went straight-up full retard.

That's not a word that people use anymore.

As for the guitar, it highlights the difference between things you CAN do and things you SHOULD do.

 

[Guitar Heel]

This one's a repeat. I don't like it any better this time.

 

[PunkKitty]

:sim:

 

[Gorgon90]

Just because you can, does not mean that you should.

 

[Dudeman1967]

I recently ate lunch at a diner with that exact Formica counter top. Never once throughout my meal did I think it would make a nice guitar finish.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

I like the over all design. But waaaay too much bling. If they simplified this it'd be cool.

Didn't @dougk do a guitar with a similar formica pattern? That was sweet, I thought.

 

[hardtdc]

I dunno, if I was a famous guitar player I might rock something like that on stage. I've seen equally as wild of designs played live before.
Would I buy it? Nope.

 

[dougpg]

I think it would look cool if George Washington played it.

 

[Alex W]

I love it, but I love most crazy lookin surf guitars.

 

[BlackCat]

I don't have anything against a Formica covered guitar on principle. It's kind of a cool idea really. I don't even mind the unusual shape. There's just too much going on there. It's trying way too hard.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

I would assume the maker is trying to show some originality with the body shape. Kudos for doing so, but the shape does nothing for me, and the use of a 60s/early 70s era TV channel selector knob (like the one on the Philco TV we had when I was little) as a volume knob, and the EKO/60s MIJ vego-matic pickup selector buttons doesn't help things. I'll pass on this.

 

[Chicken Man]

if a child gave me this guitar as a gift, and I had to say something nice about it on the spot, I like the soundhole shape and the back of the neck. But I would send that kid to military school.
