I'm surprised the signed guitar isn't $14,880.

    I'm wasting my life. I could be selling Trump branded can openers or whatever.

      "TRU MP" in hopes that Trump won't sue you after you claim it was first designed for the UK and "TRU(E) MPs".

      NGL my last ditch effort in survival is just becoming a right-wing grifter.

      I could dropship toothpaste and just slap the GOP logo on it and easily make money

      I'd say the chance of that is ~100%.

      Who is the manufacturer of these guitars?

          "Manufacturerd by multiple providers"

          Aka the parts we bought are so cheap they don't even have any kind of proof of where they came from.

          Lots of weird three syllable companies with no website and borderline unintelligible language in any of their literature.

    That’s a lotta money for a bolt-on neck Les Paul copy. Even most of the Epiphones over like $400 have set necks.

    Least reactionary telecaster.

    I don't know why I have that association but telecaster shaped guitars just look fashy to me, even before you deck them out with fascist symbols like that one.

        Damn, you mean I've been thinking the wrong name whenever I see a les paul? Looking at it, I don't really like the telecaster shape either, but it's not nearly as bad. I really can't stand electrics that have the acoustic-style headstocks where the tuners are on both sides - I don't know why but it just looks wrong.

          I'm with you. The Les Paul looks like a snowman, and the Telecaster looks like a piece of toast.

          You made the ghost of Les Paul cry. This photo is Les Paul with a Les Paul. I assume it's from the late 1950s.

          What is an electric guitar shape do you like? Explorers? Flying Vs? Or...?

            Most don't bother me, it's just that particular shape. I don't like the headstock, or how the upper part of the body softly curves in to meet the neck at around a right angle like an acoustic, or the sort of boxier acoustic-like body in general. Like the only guitars that I think look worse are weird novelty builds like the machine gun kelly chunky razorblade or an absurd anime waifu cutout that I saw posted as a particularly cursed guitar shape once. I guess there are some variations on the general strat shape that just look off too, like when they're sort of stretched and warped a little so they get more lopsided and just look blobby.

                Everyone's always ragging on those as being particularly ugly guitars, but I think at worst they just look a little silly. All the really pointy guitars are just sort of a "yeah, I get you're going for one particular aesthetic and it's kind of corny, but as long as you get the balance of the shape right and keep some clean lines to it it's fine," to me.

                That's making me think of the bespoke johnny silverhand guitars I've seen luthiers make as display pieces a few times, except those of course have the body cutout in the wrong place and the tuners placed so the strings have to make a sharp turn at the bridge, making the low strings too long and making the guitar impossible to get good intonation with. You want to see a really cursed looking guitar, look those up.

          I really can't stand electrics that have the acoustic-style headstocks where the tuners are on both sides

          They're actually problematic as all hell! Depending on the size of the headstock, the middle two strings will enter the nut slots at too sharp of an angle and will tend to get stuck in there when you do bends, so your tuning stability will be all over the place without some mods. The only "fixes" are a String Butler (aftermarket piece of plastic with a brass rollers on it to reposition the middle four strings in line with the nut slots) or a special type of nut that has either graphite or Teflon or whatever in it to reduce friction where the strings enter the slots. If you have both, you're golden. Or if you have a tremolo system with a locking nut, then it doesn't really matter since there's no movement on the bit of the string between the nut and the tuning machines.
