Prisma Guitars - upcycled skateboards

Are there any bigger pictures?

You can catch it live, on tour, with Kylesa.

I think they're awesome and I'm gonna get one of these to go along with it:

Interesting, but I'd have to play one to consider "worth it to me versus what he's asking" - I have to consider what I can get for the money and whether the cool factor is worth that upcharge.

[Jero]

I see the cost as fair, and that's coming from someone who's never paid more than $200 for a guitar

[rfurtkamp]

I have to consider market to include comparable types and models - including factory run guitars from same country of origin.

It's the $5 milkshake from Pulp Fiction - is it that damn good of a shake?

[D.o.S.]

that's a lot more nuanced than "overpriced, though."

[Jero]

Not telling you to like them, just saying that the labor involved seems to justify the price.

This.

I'm a bit biased though. The whole having a guitar made out of MY old skateboards is a big win. Something that, yes I could do myself...If I had time, and more tools, etc. Additionally, I don't have confidence in my ability to craft a neck properly

[rfurtkamp]

Yep. Hence the "I'd have to play one" and the bar would be pretty darned high - I'd weigh what else I could get for 2k into the equation.

It's sort of like if I was considering an Electrical aluminum guitar but didn't *need* the particular featureset - is the asking price worth it to *me*.

Same thing that goes through my head when I consider buying a Gibby over an Epi or a Fender over a Squier, and I factor in used instruments too.

But nuance and a fixed income go hand in hand!

Ohmigawd, I can't say anything without jumping on me for it, can I?

You're like a trampoline. Trampolines are fun. By default, you're fun. You should be happy.

I love the sexual tension between those two.

I don't like MOST of those. As an ex-skater, not enough of the skate design is preserved. As a guitar player, most of them look pretty basic, imo. If I had a bunch of money, I'd buy one and just have it shipped to Vernon Reid. He'd fuck with that, for sure.

Tell me more about Caroline's granular delay.

DUDE, why you fuckin' with Vernon Reid?
