Relicing of sorts

their point seems to be these guitars are tough, but i think any guitar would react exactly the same...

the unfinished guitar looks cool at the end...  a different look relic anyway, even the black one looks quite good

I think it's silly that to "test how strong Bandit guitars are" they took them completely apart and just took the bodies along (well it looks like they took a neck along, but they didn't do anything with it). They didn't test the strength of Bandit guitars; they tested the durability of alder (or whatever they're made of).

"Indestructable guitars"

I'm sure I could break one easily enough. They say the ultimate test is fire. I reckon we should see how it takes to a sledge hammer, see what they think then.  :twisted:

take the cheapest strat copy you can find and do the same - it will hold up just as well

Mr leo fender was mistaken.  he thought a 1 piece bolt on neck was good because it could be replaced easily

he never considered that it moght be such a good design to never need replacing


i think guitarist proved it many years ago when they swung a squire strat over the head 10 times onto a concrete floor.  iirc it was still playable after the 9th swing

You're so right. Leo was so, so horribly wrong when he thought that not cutting out the top horn was a good idea. News flash for you, Leo: It wasn't a good idea!

:P

yeah, but when they covered that top horn in paisley it worked so much better... if only leo fender knew!!!


its a shame paisley fur didnt exist when leo was actively making guitars - i am sure he would have liked it ( it does exist, i looked after my previous joke like message that almost could be a reality)

the little pot bellied, bespectacled hunchback that he was.... shame i am not like that ;)
