OK - since we're branching out - guitar played by well known dead dude (originally a Harmony acoustic):

I like it. It reminds me of post modern architecture that purposely exposes its own construction and looks unfinished. The exposure of the weight relief holes is pretty cool. Terrible maybe if it’s your only guitar. But guitars are both tools and works of artful design. It’s be boring if everything had to be cookie cutter. Although I wouldn’t want that particular design, I wouldn’t mind having a guitar borne from a similar spirit of experimentation.

I don't disagree. Aside from the neck join (and who knows if that was how it was from the factory...) it's an interesting concept. I would prefer if it was a scratch build rather than hacking up a Gibson, but like others said, to each their own, and it appears to have been a 2015, with the robo-tuners.
It's definitly unique - i've seen other guitars carved similarly for a lot more money than that.

The fact that they are asking the equivalent of $4,400 is hilarious.
Yeah, that‘s the interesting thing about this for sale posting. If you want to create art with your guitar or make it “better,“ great, that’s your prerogative. Turning around and selling it for $4k+, that’s ludicrous.
