Isn’t this that same guitar that’s been a running joke on forums for like 15 years? I figure at this point it’s changing hands purely for the memes.

Ad actually says, "No low-ballers. I know what I've got."

Of course he knows what he`s got. But he doesn`t know that when individualising a guitar, he actually ends up with an individual instrument that probably only he likes.

there was a lot of speed involved in the making of this Guitar, and that’s before they even got to style of the knobs

This genetic mishap is what happens when you cross breed a Les Paul with the kid from Deliverance's banjo = Polydactyly

The difference is the solid brass guitar is cool, and this LP is just messed up.

Not really. I tried it.
You cant play it standing up.

I think in reality it was an Ibby promo thing in Namm 78

Can't isn't in my vocabulary unless you are asking to play my guitar at a gig and I don't know you.

That guitar is "special" alright. Be funny to see it get the Pete Townsend treatment, then put all the broken chunks of shit back in the glass case. That would be a real conversation piece.

at least it comes with it's own coffin; just needs a burial plot.

Pete and the BBC did that to a lot of kids.

Yeah, they weren’t using sandwich/pancake bodies in 78, iirc.
