Well...If only I didn’t hate acoustic guitars, I definitely would have done.

Hmmm...saying that...an oversized, jumbo acoustic-shaped sunburst solid body? I could get into that...

Isolation isn't affecting people at all.  Only morbid curiosity will have me watching this thread.

I actually really like that.

There was a time that some manufacturers thought the more pickups the better. I remember the Watkins Rapier guitars, models 22,33 and 44 having 2,3 or 4 pickups respectively.  My cousin had a Rapier 33 with a little Watkins amp about 50 years ago that he loaned me for a while.

Collectors items now going on EBay for around £500. I'm pretty sure Harry Seven probably has some.

Take comfort in the fact that Mr "Collectors Custom Guitars" hasn't sold anything for well over a year, according to his feedback. Absolute abominations.

Check out his other items, his descriptions are hilarious! And no matter how much nonsense he writes about the parts and how long it takes him to make, it all still translates from BS to regular English as "this cheap, crap old acoustic has had the cheapest Chinese parts I could find on eBay screwed onto it in the most inelegant way I could so please give me £350 for it."

Mental. Makes me wonder if this guy isn't the origin of the phrase "oh it's just something I threw together with some bits I had lying around."

That made me feel sad. Relic-ing must have ruined thousands of perfectly nice instruments, some of which were probably nicely naturally aged to start with.

I do indeed. 

£500? Ridiculously OTT...
