An eyecatching offset from Mojentone Custom Guitars

Post by windmill » Sat Apr 01, 2023 6:28 pm

From another website

It is a nice piece of work, especially for those of us who like a bit of chrome .... and like red guitars.

That's wonderful.

Nice art deco embellishments.
That tremolo looks cool too.

So close to being beautiful. Ruined by too many lines. Why add the ones under the strings that don’t line up? Looks like a wonky 12 string.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Not a fan of the headstock - when the body shape is so close (or identical) to a Jag/Jazzmaster, small headstocks look imbalanced.

I wouldn't buy or play it but I think it looks great - real Art Deco / Sputnik fusion stuff. I agree the headstock looks too small though...I like the shape but also think it should be bigger.

But I like it, colour withstanding. But y'all know how I feel about red guitars
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

I think it's cool, but it's also red.

I have mixed feelings. It’s a little too busy and hot rod culture-y for me to be fully on board with it. They could have done something more imaginative with the position markers too.

That's how I feel, too.

They got it really close to being great, but fumbled on the last few steps.
