I love this thread so much. The one adamajah posted has to be a joke. Imagine getting hit in the privates with that contraption!
EDIT: Trying not to double post. A while back I was looking for rip off Ibanez Jems. I found some cheap ones and found out they used stickers for the inlays. I didn't get the guitars but it gave me an idea to "spruce" up my own guitars.

I PLAN ON USING THESE. Total hack job but.. I think they look cool. I'm not a wood worker. Stickers it is.

One time I scalloped a really cheap guitar's neck like that, using a drill, to check out the Vietnamese guitar style

It was cool in an experimental way.
I wonder what's up with the tape.

Seller mentioned the pickup mounting ring is broken.
Apparently, the pickup itself still works.

Sadly I have my doubts they modded it into a Valnott

I think it's real.. I guess there was even a small company in the 90s that made neck plates that had a horn extender [2" or so longer than a P or J bass] I bought a cab from a guy that had one on his bass.. it was silly..
ok

this page did not dissapoint!
CE-2 Is amazing, I have learned through this thread that Unique=Whatthedamnhellisthat?
AD80 bums me out a bit but I could see my kids peeling the finish off something like that (they already mutilated a ton of old wallpaper in our house)
No clue on that poor gold top gibson, is that scalloped frets? WHY!?!?!?!?!
