What I like about it - and bear in mind it's not for me - is that, in all the pics I've seen, it looks like a "classic guitar" to me.
There's some very classy looking guitars getting posted around here, but most of them pass me by, or I like bits of them, or I like the wood, the colour or something. But most of them are in my "fair enough, won't catch on though" category (this is a very personal category here, PRSs, pointy headstock metal guitars, all manner of successful stuff, they all fall into it - so obviously they've caught on with someone :lol:)
And then there's this "classic guitar" category - the iconic ones for me "hey it's a tele, a strat, an LP, an SG, a Corvette, a Junior, etc, etc"
For some reason the Roo geetar finds itself in that category whenever I see it - I just accept it. Maybe it's cos I'm used to seeing it in Roo's avatar all the time, maybe not, I don't know. Mebbe if I saw it in the flesh I wouldn't think that at all? I dunno...
But if that's what you've managed to do - it might explain why people think you've copied something else. When it's right, it's right, and it seems familiar...
Happens with songs as well - Eg Paul McCartney was convinced he'd ripped off something when he came up with the melody and structure for Yesterday. It just sounds so familiar when you first hear it. It's not because it's a copy of something, it's because it's good...
....I tried really hard, but I couldn't come up with a Cliff Richard reference/comparison to compliment this beast - but I've managed to link it to a telecaster and to a Paul McCartney song, so I reckon that's enough for a post in "Roobaiting" :lol:
