So this is what it feels like for those dudes in Cthulhu stories who see some messed up geometry and go insane trying to comprehend it.

Yeah I need to see this from a few more angles to (maybe) understand what's happening here...

IT'S NOT A HACK JOB!!!

It was designed to be able to play lap steel standing up.

That's actually pretty cool. Still messes with my eyes a bit though

erm, thus "Hacked fresh from the fact'ry" lol

I have the cheaper production version with the detachable naugahyde "body" - having played it standing up, my opinion is [expletive deleted].

Yeah, well, design intent and reality are oftentimes two very different things.

Yeah, well, sometimes design intent is just as bloody-minded as heat-of-the-moment amateur "modification"

Look, I just wanted someplace to post that cubist beauty, and the sad truth was it wasn't remotely purple...so I figured it might generate some interesting chatzerai here, and I decided to risk the opprobrium of the keeper of conceptual continuity; me culpa.

The effect was that of a Cyclopean city of no architecture known to man or to human imagination, with vast aggregations of night-black masonry embodying monstrous perversions of geometrical laws and attaining the most grotesque extremes of sinister bizarrerie. There were truncated cones, sometimes terraced or fluted, surmounted by tall cylindrical shafts here and there bulbously enlarged and often capped with tiers of thinnish scalloped discs; and strange, beetling, table-like constructions suggesting piles of multitudinous rectangular slabs or circular plates or five-pointed stars with each one overlapping the one beneath. There were composite cones and pyramids either alone or surmounting cylinders or cubes or flatter truncated cones and pyramids, and occasional needle-like spires in curious clusters of five. All of these febrile structures seemed knit together by tubular bridges crossing from one to the other at various dizzy heights, and the implied scale of the whole was terrifying and oppressive in its sheer giganticism. The general type of mirage was not unlike some of the wilder forms observed and drawn by the Arctic whaler Scoresby in 1820; but at this time and place, with those dark, unknown mountain peaks soaring stupendously ahead, that anomalous elder-world discovery in our minds, and the pall of probable disaster enveloping the greater part of our expedition, we all seemed to find in it a taint of latent malignity and infinitely evil portent.

Mythos'd

OK, well, if that's the way you wanna play it, this's "barely" hacked (not really though):

I'm a lover, not a fighter...and I that thang!
Also, that photo shoot location - I need a spot like that for my hack jobs - I wonder if it's pet friendly

does the pet have a metal plate in its furry li'l head? i don't *think* a microchip would be a problem...

I actually thought it was photoshopped at first until I saw the Reverb link.

ALSO NOT A HACK JOB!

Here's a current take on it by Asher:

This is still one of my top 5 threads of all time... I love these guitars so much.
