Ugly is way too nice a word for it!

A pretty awesome picker! Not only does he have a pitch bender on the peghead, but look at his right arm at the inner elbow joint area...he has a B/G bender bar there also. This guy has his licks down pretty good to say the least. Quite a custom guitar, not as fancy as Bill Balls Les Paul Custom with motorcyle cables, but pretty cool......

Pimpin Popcorn Tim.

Why are all the good nicknames taken?

Good playing, and obviously, the designer thinks a little beyond the paradigm.

That was great, really! I love the "antenna" on the headstock. Useful, too!!!

The darn thing looks like a TEA KETTLE!

I sort of got tea kettle out of it too, Tony.

I wish I could play 1/10 as well as The Pimp...

I can't figure if he's kidding with that monstrosity or what, but his incredible talent makes it OK...I just close my eyes in defense.

Exactly, usually someone would "wear" that wild of a guitar to hide their playing inadequacies. This fellow, isn't.

I don't know about that Paul, I hear you are quite an accomplished player, but I'd bet the "pimp" can't repair or re-finish a guitar 1/100th as well as you can!

There's one thing about that guitar. It's doesn't need a case since it already has a handle built in.

Hey Paul..don't cut yourself short..he's a great player but a lot of what he does are the same scales over and over..modes baby modes...

I think it's amazing that he specified a Telecaster neck pickup for his nutty custom guitar! Usually when people design their own six-string monstrosity, they usually pick Strat pickups or Humbuckers or some combination of the two. Even avid Tele fans aren't always happy with the standard neck pickup. I guess he wanted a Tele sound in a... er... more... interesting... package.

I think it could be put horizontally onto a smoothly-rotating stand...

In this configuration and with a proper hookup, it would make a dandy lawn sprinkler!
