This is so wrong in so many ways that it escapes the realm of the guitar fail. The SpongeBob SquarePants' Patrick Starfish guitar is one of those rare guitars that make us say : It is so wrong that it must be right ! Source

That Bigsby is Confusing !

Must be the work of a Hendrix / SRV fan working at the assembly line ! We are quite sure that it's not the best setting for a Bigsby ! Based on the Bigsby and the upside down G, this guitar is most probably a knock-off of the Gretsch G6120 Eddie Cochran signature with...

Steampunk as Hell

I have nothing against steampunk guitars though this one seems a bit overloaded to be easy to play ! It probably has a purely decorative role though. via quora Enregistrer

A Woman, a Skull, and a Foot Carved on a Guitar

I can see a nipplectomized woman, a skull, a foot shaped headstock... The lower part of the guitar looks like a blade... Again, there is not much information about this guitar but welcome to the magic of ebay anyway !
