This guitar makes a statement

Certainly makes fingering around the 9th fret a little awkward.

Proof if it were ever needed that having the technical skills to do something, doesn't always mean that you should go ahead & do it.

Yikes. Trying too hard.

What a strange thing to do. 

I mean if you want it to be risqué, have the guys trousers round his ankles and his naked hairy arse putting the punters off. Although to be fair, this may be the next in the series.

It's for sale on Reverb also:

It pisses me off how sellers throw in key words to be included in search results, in this case "not-lowden-avalon".

Back in my youth there were a few times that impromptu passion meant us having to have a quick knee-trembler, but I've been looking at the fretboard inlay closely.  Either they chose a worktop, washing machine, pizzeria counter, or whatever that was far too high for her to perch on or else if this is all free-standing gymnastics, he has lifted her up far too high.  Unless he has a dick in the centre of his abdomen like a bull, or she her legs are joined to her shoulders, all he has managed to achieve is a damp chest.

The inlay is quite well executed, but the planning for where her left knee would end up is a bit off.  I realise how difficult it is to cut and rout for inlays, having tried quite a few myself with varied levels of success, but I'm beginning to wonder whether the woman is a gecko and he is Django Reinhardt:

The Rosette inlay is such an amateurish choice that it spoils what otherwise is a very nice guitar.  I wonder what creation he would come up with for The Great British Bakeoff?  A chocolate cake fashioned like a giant coiled turd, or a message piped onto an otherwise excellent cake proclaiming "This is a fucking tasty cake".

Maybe I'm just a little conservative and nit-picking for this kind of thing.

I enjoyed your critique.

Especially the gecko bit.

That's weird. Not in a good way.

well, funnily enough - some good friends of ours made a cake for mrs berts 40th (yes that long ago !!) and owning the same breed of dogs, decorated it with a "dog statue" with torn socks, toys and pools of wee and little brown turds everywhere.

Must be the most tasteless piece of bling I've seen on a guitar. As for the rosette, well - if the guitar was that good it wouldn't need the text. I reckon he might have trouble shifting that.

If the rich had taste there would be no market for most of the stuff in houses like Trump's.

Apologies for the tread drift but this reminded me of a baking anecdote recorded (I think) by Constance Spry in her eponymous cookery book published in the 1950s. In the dessert section she tells how a local cook in a far flung corner of the former Empire was tasked to prepare an elaborate pudding using an ancient book with illustrations that extolled the virtues of each dish.

The hostess was allegedly mortified when it was delivered to the table at the end of her dinner party with “This is a delicious and economical recipe” piped on the top.

No guitar is that good, sorry
