It says in the listing that it needs "sading". Actually, I think it's sad enough already. :mrgreen:

I don't get it - no neck pocket, no real smooth body edges - all wavey, and it is soft pine.... What would one do with it?? Seriously, I'm not looking for unrighteous indignation here.

A friend of mine made a better bass body in our 8th grade woods class.

I wonder what tools were used to make this?

My thoughts immediately went to MVP, too.

Here's the same guy's attempts at a "Superstrat":

And a "Less Paul":

Yes, that IS plainly Bondo on the two where it's visible...and probably also on the one with light gray car primer.

Subtlety is NOT this guy's forté, apparently.

Yes, there's nothing sadder than someone who so desperately wants to accomplish something they just aren't capable of.

Wait, there is something sadder...it's someone who's convinced they are capable...

Wow, those wiring cavities gave him a run for his money. I can't imagine the results had he attempted to use a hard wood.

I hope that is his Mother bidding on that Ric body hoping to make him feel better. Who in their right mind would buy that?

The cutout horns on the first abomination are shaped like they were trying to reach out and take a swing at him while he was making those butchered cuts! :shock:
