I mean… for that money I’d rather get an old L5 or something!

Should’ve been a Strat-ivarius

You could get yourself a carved top thinline body from Warmoth for an awful lot less anyway

That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen

Or you could buy a nice telecaster and a violin.

Bizarre.

I wonder how many they will sell? My guess is none.

It's a pug.

That is the sort of one-off that ends up illustrated in coffee table books of rare, unusual or pointless instruments.

If Fender charges enough for each photography session, the thing may eventually cover its costs.

Jeez, No!

Why is it that this kind up stuff invariably looks like a blinged-up shitter?

£26k?

Total nonsense at nearly 26K pounds. Sorry, I don't have a pound symbol on my keyboard. 

Rocker

I like it but I won't be buying one. 

Tannin

Ugly, ugly ugly. 

These - https://www.basscentre.com.au/collections/hofner - are a much, much better take on the violin idea.

dazzajl

Aside from everything already said, they’ve based the design on a violin called Gibson. The whole idea shows how preposterous the top end of any collectors market is.

Nah

The thing I find most unbelievable about this guitar is that someone will buy it..

Its horrible..

Looks like something from B+M Bargains

I like it.  I think it looks great.  And that weird little coffin/slipper thing for the spare bridge saddles... so strange.

Love the colour.
