NGD- it's PINK!

I REALLY shouldn't be allowed on eBay when MrsLostSon isn't here to police me! 

I saw this cute wee thing for sale & dropped in a cheeky bid... And won!

Vaguely SG shape, resonant, single P90, plays well, no crackles, holds tune and it's PINK! 

This makes 3 single pickup guitars- I love having to use the controls & my technique to get the tone I want. 

I'm not mad keen on the shape of the guard & the P90 is a bit meek, so I'm sure I'll be in touch with @TheGuitarWeasel before too long... Is it wrong to have a single pickup more valuable than the rest of the guitar it's in? 

Right, I'm off to play it some more!

Excellent. It looks like a 'rubarb and  custard' sweet in guitar form. I approve.

it's just on the side of Nail Bar pink - needs to be punk'd up a bit!

I agree- it looked a bit more neon in the advert. 

On the other hand my 6 year old daughter LOVES it. "When I learn guitar THAT'S MINE!"

Love it! Out of interest what’s the brand?

That is one girly guitar. I want it.

How did they end up with that pick guard shape ... I suspect the guitar would be vastly improved by a better shaped guard

That's a Collings!

Ha! I really quite like that!

You can get the Hello Kitty stickers separately on Ebay.

You are a sad sad man sir that is in desperate need of counselling. One pup and SG shape no prob, but c'mon ...PINK!!    ...definitely some unresolved childhood issues there I think.

That is adorable,  I want one
Only a real man can get away with a pink guitar!

Not quite!
It's a Gould... Me neither.

After an evening playing it. I think my initial assessment is fairly accurate-
Neck is straight, frets are fine, tuners aren't the best but work ok, the intonation is actually pretty decent. 
Rather pleasingly the body shape most reminds me of the Phil X Framus (which I LOVE the look of). 
With a pickup & wiring upgrade it'll be perfectly servicable for my punk rock ineptitude. 
I'll see what I can do about the guard too, I've cut LPs to make guards in the past... Or I might go crazy on ScratchIt.
