My main guitar, La Cab-brutal-nita

[Madsakre]

its one of the best playing guitars i have ever played.

[Loomer]

yeah, pretty good for a neck found in a bargain bin, eh?  :lol:

[gwEm]

 :twisted:

like the philosophy here!

[JacksonRR]

Yeah, I like it too. Mostly because you saved that poor neck from destruction, but it does look pretty sweet. I'd dirty that thing up for another year and then rub a few coats of Tru-oil or Danish Oil on it to lock in the funk and protect the wood.

That's actually a damned good idea! I'm gonna have to steal it.

Steal away, dude! I hope it works out for your "bin-tage" guitar. awwww. That was bad. Really shouldn't hit the post button. Oh well.

[Loomer]

Bin-tage... I actually quite like that!

[hunter]

I hate how the Gaffa tape glue makes everything sticky. Tape = Uncool. Rest = Cool!

[MDV]

I normally hate teles

But

Approved.

It looks like its supposed to be $%&#ing played.

[Loomer]

That was actually the whole idea of it, yeah. I originally intended it as some sort of beater/backup guitar, for my band Hexis, but incidentally it ended up becoming my main squeeze after I'd gotten the neck properly adjusted :lol:

I hate seeing gaffer tape on a guitar

 :D

[Philly Q]

Pwned!  :oops: :lol:

I actually like the look of that one.  But is it all gunky and sticky, or is there some kind of clear finish over the top?

[JacksonRR]

I remember that one. It's the Offspring guitarist's sig model yeah? I didn't think it was actual tape, but a screen print or something like that. Might be real tape and finished over, but I don't know how well that would go.

Speaking of neat textures on guitars. Newspaper with a poly coat on top.  :D

That's serious cool!

Seriously thick coating of lacquer. It's faired better than the other one I have, that was starting to look a bit scruffy and was peeling in places. That one got stripped and oiled.

Yup that's the puppy and it is indeed real tape stuck to the body, then sprayed over with paint, wiped off, then lacquered. It's an absolute bitch to get off. Great playing thing, but lousy electronics and tuners. I replaced all them and now they're brilliant. Not the most resonant things ever, but great very cheap fun.

Forgot I had this in the garage. Easy duct tape refin.  :lol:
