Inspiration
This is the internet photo which inspired this guitar. It takes me back to the 80s, when there were still only 2 genders... imagine that. What a great time it was. Guitar players were still everywhere, not only on YouTube. In fact there was no Internet. This meant that instead of carrying around a radiation device and putting it to your head, you plugged into a tube amp, played your guitar for hours every day and listened to vinyl records. Although, CDs had just come in and they were ominous, foreshadowing the end of the world as we knew it. Those perceptive could just feel that some bad shit was coming down the pipe. The rules of the game will be changed mercilessly. Musicians could still make a living from playing music in the 80s but they did not realize that their only product will soon be made obsolete and worthless. Musicians no longer had a product to sell.
The 80s were a much less "progressive" time when young men actually romanticized about getting married (to a real girl), reproducing and living in a house in the suburbs. Those were not yet deemed deviant aspirations. All that was still attainable and possible in the 80s.
The music was great also. Rap and ghetto culture was not yet shoved down our throats, as a form of potent political weapon, to subvert traditional culture and values. This was just before digital recording was brought in to kill all remnants of organic sound production. Music was still made with quality standards and was not intended for toddler consumption.
I sure feel sad for the younger generation. You ostensibly have so much more, this is what you are told but you actually have been robbed of almost everything.
You have been isolated and deracinated.
If the text above baffles you then enjoy this guitar, which takes you back to a time, (if you are young) which you will never know.
