So "buckethead" is an actual person/artiste? (With whom several of you seem to be familiar...)

We live and learn :roll:

(I thought it was some sort of "young-person-speak" until I read this thread :lol:)

The guitar does not grab me much neither!

:lol: nice, Andy.
It made me want to type it into Urbandictionary

"Bucket Head   
1. a girl with a nice body but the bitch is so ugly she needs a bucket on her damn head

2. One who's head will not properly hold a hat because it is forced upward, due to their conical shape."

[AndyR]

:lol:

I like the guitar. The kill switches may look bad, but appart from that I find it cool. And why two kill switches???

I like the guitar, but I'd have to take the nipples off of it.

You know I was in the supermarket today and I caught myself actually using that term :D

i dont mind the guitar but i have no idea who they are trying to appeal to with the oversized body

how many buckethead fans are there that are the same height as him (thats the only target market i can imagine) and why does being tall mean your guitar needs to be oversized ???

Well, I'm not as tall as him, but I'm fairly wide, so I can think in what kind of guy would like it... I once got a Flying V that a luthier from Brazil made, it's 1cm smaller than the '67 gibby and it looked tiny and I looked like a very ugly troll :lol:

If my fingers were proportional to my size I would be on the 27" scale league, but as they're small won't...

About his music, I know very little, but I like this Padmasana song:

Remove the ridiculous red buttons and you have a nice guitar. As for Buckethead being a weirdo... Gibson has endorsed people like Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) and Tom DeLonge (Blink 182), I think this a huge step forward. You can claim a great many things, but those 2 just aren't good guitar players at all. They should focus on people that are actually inspiring as a player, rather than topping the charts.

Gibson's course over the past 10 years has really put me off. I still love mine, but won't really consider buying one since I don't feel a bond with the company anymore. They seem to be doing anything just to pull in some cash.

[bucketshred]

I started playing guitar because of Green Day and punk rock in general. Therefore Billie Joe Armstrong has inspired myself (and countless others) to play guitar. Granted, I don't think a signature LP Jr is appropriate but I would kill for a copy of Blue.

I am quite comfortable with Gibson at the moment, the only thing I would really want would be a Norlin maple neck standard.
No clownburst
Reasonable weight - And none of you bitchin' about the weight of my current axe ;)
Dark fingerboard
Nice souding pups
and a neck profile I like.

I won't be spending any money :D
