I did think the same. Original AF but simultaneously super derivative

Like all the 'boutique' companies turning out Fender clones with Hosco parts for $3k+

Good luck finding a case... and if you can't, it'll go through the car window on the way to the gig

Re: AliExpress monstrosities
It's ridiculous that someone is actually making a copy of a Hondo Death Dagger (yes, that's the actual model name.) Here's a real one:

Re: AliExpress monstrosities
I had no Idea that was a copy of an existing model! I assumed it was a case of "hey, we've got a thousand of those weird shaped wood offcuts, let's see what we can whip up with them" like this one. Thanks for the heads-up; as we say here, I'll go to bed slightly less stupid tonight
In a way you have to admire the sheer uncompromising '80s hair metal in-your-faceness... But on the other hand, who in their right mind would play something that unwieldy onstage?
Oh and I've just realised it's got an offset waist!

Look at the strap pin. Where do you think that guitar hangs when you wear it?

Re: AliExpress monstrosities
it gets worse the longer you look at it. it's not even just the burst btw. the pickguard is..... ugly at best but also look how far forward the bridge pickup is. that thing is gonna sound like shit.LVC wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 5:22 amThis has to be the most awful attempt at a burst finish I've ever seen
