I assume this one-knobber has many sweet spots.
How does it fit in your rear input gap, I mean rig?

That track is sweet. Sounds like Jackson 5 but with phasers and other cool shit.

What make/model is that? Looks funky as all hell.

They're rather expensive sadly - around 5000eur I think.

They have it listed as a "Teisco". It's not a Teisco though. It's a Kingston/Kawai. Anytime people don't know what an old Japanese guitar is they just call it a Teisco. Looks like somebody added a Teisco badge on to the headstock. It's been mod'd a bit. It wasn't originally gold either.

Yeah, hand-built guitars're expensive these days.

Lol yeah - even with the "Tiesco" misspelling. The price isn't too bad, but those stickers are

I tried one exactly like that, a luthier friend used to have one (still has?) at his shop. Good enough but not my thing, went the opposite way finish-wise, got a brown SG special instead.

Nobody's gonna see the sticker on the back & the sticker on the front is small enough to mostly get covered up by your arm while playing.

Alright, good to know. It kinda funny - I want something SG-ish for my first guitar (that gold one is sick), and a faded brown one is at the top of the list, but at the same time I don't really want an SG, cause everybody and their mom has one, you know? So I'm thinking something like SG2000:
Or maybe something PRS
I have a thing for Santana atm I guess

But I'd know it's there

the front one would annoy me when it's hanging on the wall or something. Also just stylistically different from the rest of the guitar imo.

Ohhh yeah, those Yamahas are so cool, I want one too. In black tho. Also love the Washburn Eagle but they don't usually come in gold. This is all I could find.
And yes, SGs are really common, but luckily nobody else in my circle of friends have one. They're all Les Paul or misc Fenders. A friend of a friend has a standard, but he's actually in an AC/DC cover band.
