I am not a musician, but if I were a guitarist, I might fancy one of these. I like the one with the teeth.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

The teeth, of all things? Don’t answer that.
That was made for Great White. I believe it showed up in the “Rock Me” video being played by Mark Kendall. The best one has got to be the ZZ Top ones or better yet the Ted Nugent special.
The fuzzy ones are from ZZ Top, it looks like. I don’t see one I remember from the 80s, which was in the shape of a USAF F-15.
Interesting curiosities, perhaps worth hanging on a wall, but with almost forty years of guitars behind me, I’m pretty sure that actually playing things like that would get old pretty quickly.
There are very good reasons why most guitars have always looked like they have. The Gibson “radicals” from 1958 (Explorer, Flying V) are about as far out as most people would ever get, who aren’t invested in looking different just for the sake of a different look. And even they can take quite some getting used to.
Quite so Billy.
I’d settle for being able to play a plain ordinary one properly!
