Whoa.

Holy abomination Batman!!

You've gotta be kidding me.

Just when I think I've seen everything in the guitar world that would make me nauseous.

That's easily the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I mean... if someone wants to buy a beater Epiphone like that to do weird and pointless things to, that's fine. It's your guitar. Dream big. But to think that it ADDS re-sale value?? That's the insulting part and what makes it the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Wow.

 

[Delayed Delay]

This part made me lol...

"I was inspired by the Roger McGuinn 7-String Martin Acoustic."

 

[seantk]

That is so not right.

 

[krall]

awesome.

 

[J-E-M]

Pretty cool. Resale value be damned.

 

[Peteyvee]

Why?

Interesting idea but a little over the top for me.......If you want this same type of sound, try the "half Nashville" tuning that Wechter offers in a purpose-built guitar--Just remove the D and G and replace them with a 11 and 09 and tune so the D and G are an octave above normal. Never tried it on an electric but had an acoustic tuned like that; sounds real nice when you're playing next to another acoustic in standard tune. You get some 12-string ambience without 12 strings, notably 'cause now your 3rd is the highest-pitched string.

Really should have put them inline with the others, they look like antennas.

Actually no one should have done any of this anyway, nevermind.

 

[Jimmy3Fingers]

Yeah...the $800 price tag just adds insult to injury. I would think the mods reduce the original value in 1/2, not triple/quadruple it.

How long until this model appears in the Gibson product line?

It'll be hard to cram an unwanted Min-E-Tun on with those extra pegs...

Why not? Mod an inexpensive guitar until it suits you.

I'm totally OK with it other than the price.
