See through guitar

mayordenis

Not really too pushed on whether or not its particularly good just wondering where i could pick one up along the lines of the dave grohl one.
Or would these have to be custom made?

Dave uses a '69 Dan Armstrong Ampeg guitar. They're very rare afaik. I think there is some sort of perspex strat that can be got, but i don't know where.

mayordenis

ok cool thanks would kill for one . . . mmm

jcoote

bc rich do an acrylic range all see thru... wouldn't be too keen on a plastic guitar though

here's their website

here's one for sale

Doctor J

Ampeg re-issued them a few years back, there should be plenty second hand. If you want a bass just click here

I'd like Kirk Hammett's transparent one with the blue liquid inside myself. (I wonder how long before the novelty factor would wear off)

jcoote

i'd say as soon as u played the first chords and realised u should've gone for a woosen guitar instead..they look really good though

He wanted to fill that guitar with his own urine...

There's a few of those plastic guitars in shops in Dundalk. They suck. Weigh an absolute ton and don't sound great at all at all.

As i said wasnt really pushed on gettin a guitar as a good instrument just something for the pure novelty.
found this site sellin some dirt cheap sure they are crap but neway ill give it a go . . .

thanks to all

Keef used to play a see-through acrylic Strat.

Rickenbacker also made a 330 with multicoloured fairy lights inside and a plastic top for the full psychedelic experience. http://www.the-music-connection.com/331.jpg

He puts all his Rics in the grass, including the one I bought from him five years ago

jcoote

can't believe nobody copped it sooner ..well done comrade

Is that a 4003?

Eoin Madsen

You know, a Variax type thing would be perfect for a transparent acrylic guitar. It should make no difference to the tone since the modelling is all based on relative transformations (I assume). You just need to program it in advance for a plastic guitar.

feylya

It'd still weigh a ton though.

Yup.

Mikky04

Wot if it was hollow?

feylya

It'd probably sound even worse.

Well, you can't have everything!

feylya

I can

eddie-fandangle

the dan armstrong would be savage but i reckon we need a guitar made of glass that would be cool if a little delicate

Eoin Madsen

Have you considered the weight of a glass guitar?

no i havent anyway if it was thin enough it couldnt weight much more that a lp. matt bellamys guitar weigh at least 150% more than a lp and he doesnt complain does he the edward scissorshand lookin ****

feylya

Matt Bellamy doesn't have a glass guitar though as far as I know. He has the mirror guitar with the lasers but that's perspex.
