Robert Smith

The question confuses me.  Wouldn't the Guitar From Hell be exceedingly cool?  At any rate I don't like it. :P

It looks like it's trying to be new and different, while attempting to be cool, but just failing. Unfortunately. It's a nice idea, but looks too weird for my liking.

You're not gonna go all "pick of destiny" on me now, are ya?

Interesting... it doesn't have a tone control...

I was thinking more along the lines of a guitar that's a hell-spawn mixture of the bones of fornicators and the sinew of thieves and gluttons.

Geez, Billy Corgan and now Robert Smith! The guitar Gods are really struggling to find a few decent names to throw on guitars these days.

how dare you!!!  Billy corgan may be an arse but his music is good and the fender signiture would be a great guitar.. i would obviously change the pickups but how many 70's looking hardtail strats are readily availble at the moment without his signiture strat

How dare you II!!!

Robert Smith is COOL!

Have you heard his colab with Reeves Gabrels?  Yesterday'a Gone - It's superb!

PS - I don't know who Billy Corgan is...

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw that. :P

[Kilby]

I met Robert Smith and he is a pretty big guy (compared win me anyay)

I sort of like it but I don't know why

+1 - Corgan was always by my side when I was growing up (not literally!)

Totally agree on all points (including BC being an arse).  And I'm already on record as a fan of his signature Strat.

In the right hands, it's 'effing cool!

I like the guitar the left handed chappie is playing in that clip!  :D

Oh, and I agree Robert Smith is cool too, although I'm not really a fan of his music.

i think we need a picture of it now:


if i was buying a strat it would be this one

I was really seriously considering it, but I didn't want to get it then immediately ditch the pickups, it seemed silly to do that.  So I went the partscaster route instead, with a Highway 1 neck which is basically the same as a Corgan neck anyway.
