Don't you think a Route 69 guitar would be more ergonomic and enjoyable ?

Not Your Typical Acoustic Guitar

by Guitar Fail | March 28, 2014 | Designs | 1 Comment

I love Gretsch guitars but this G5034TFT Rancher dreadnought with a Bigsby vibrato, and a Fideli'Tron™ pickup is a bit too much... Yet, I wish I could give it a try. Obviously !

Yeah, it can go anywhere as long as it is far away from me ! via update : It appears that Alpaca Guitars experienced some difficulties with supplying their initial kickstarter investors with their promised Alpaca guitars. As a result, they are no longer producing or...

Space Invaders Guitar

by Guitar Fail | September 8, 2011 | Designs | 0 Comments

I don't know which one is the weirdest : the guitar or the guitar player ? Here is a pic of the guitar itself made by French luthiers Jacobacci brothers. For some reason it really reminds me of Space Invaders characters!!

You Can’t Turn an Ibanez Iceman into a Gretsch SilverJet

by Guitar Fail | May 4, 2013 | Designs | 0 Comments

You can try tough. That's not the first time I see an Ibanez Iceman with a Bigsby trem but I can't get used to it. As for the Filtertron, I'm curious to hear that. Why not, after all. Source

Spooky : Guitar Infested by Maggots!

by Guitar Fail | November 8, 2011 | Designs | 0 Comments

Looks like this guitar has been playing the "Crawling (in my skin)" riff a little too hard. In any case, it is ready to rock the maggot-core scene.

Now That’s a Pointy Guitar !

by Guitar Fail | August 4, 2011 | Designs | 1 Comment

It looks like a rather devilish photoshop guitar but if it is real or was to be made, I' wish'd like to see it in action. Not front row, from a safe distance, and I'd enjoy watching the massacre.

What Doorbell ? What we Need is More Cowbell !

Honestly, the world needs more cowbell, and less doorbell. But hey, that's just me ! Too bad Boss themselves didn't came out with this DB-2 Doorbell thing. After all, they've made a Boss pedal mouse in the past. But as of now, it looks like Gear Ant and Acorn...

Beauty in Imperfection ?

Who needs precision when you have a guitar that's close enough? Looks like the guitar maker ran out of supplies and just said 'Meh ! That's good enough!' The transparent pickguard that showcases the inner workings of the guitar is a good idea. At least, you can see...

An Ode to Creativity or Fertility ?

I heard that this guitar is really fertile. It's got plenty of seeds for making sweet music. I guess the giant sperm on the guitar represent the creative juices flowing into it. Or maybe it's just a reminder of where good ideas go to die. But, you know what they say :...

Humbuckers Madness

6 guitars and 24 humbuckers, I'm pretty sure you'll never run out of sound options with that much firepower. I bet if you played all 6 at once, it would create a sonic boom that could bring down buildings. That must be one loud family - Source

This is One Nice Guitar Family !

I have to admit... Though I'm often laughing at their creations, I secretly admire the guitar DIYers for their commitment. Anyway, let's play a guessing game. From left to right : If a Stratocaster had sex with a Les Paul Junior, that's how their child would look like...

Who Needs GhostGuitar Augmented Air Guitar for iPhone ?

St Jobs*... Please don't let them do that!! The app uses the front-facing camera of the iPhone or iPad 2 to track your hands moving on your air guitar (i.e. your hands moving in the air). But you no longer have to imagine the sounds you're pumping out of your air...
