I would bleed all over that thing. Which would probably look pretty bitchen.

Give me function and sound over novelty any day!

I don't know .. there's function, form and then fun. It doesn't hurt to have a little fun now and again. I always loved those goof ball guitars that were obviously unplayable and sound like crap. Just guys having some fun.

It's arrived..there's a gold wash over the ash that's not coming out too well due to massive blue LED floodlight knocking the crap out of the colour balance...the six position tone knob isn't much use but the dual nine volt overdrive circuitry can take you well into metal territory without bothering with pedals.

I think you are going to need more walls to hang your guitars soon.

Congrats! Looks like it fits right in.

Looks great,
Just dangle em from the ceiling like chandeliers. Seams to work for Scott Grove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axGbSLmGyf8
Look when he pans up he's got posts coming down from the ceiling that supports a bar from which the necks are hung.

That's incredible! I wouldn't be able to play it live, it would cut me to pieces and I'd bleed everywhere. It already happens to me on guitars that don't have blades on them.

These new TL's have been really popular. They remind me of Schecter Telecasters that Pete Townsend played in the 80s.

Local music store had an evening sale with 30% on all guitars. I suppose I didn't really need another guitar. But as I didn't have anything Les Paulish I had already before noticed a Samick LC650 for a fair second hand price, now turned into a deal. Tried it out and it felt really good. And, well, it was my birthday last Sunday...

Happy birthday to me!

Looks pretty much like a clone to this one:

Interesting body shape! I like that it's got Gotoh tuners, those are the best.

Samick made several changes in body shape in the series. These "cut off cutaways" seems to have been the last ones before Samick started the Greg Bennetts so it's probably from 2000-2001. I really didn't like the shape at first, but it does look better irl than on pictures for some reason. I'm already used to it now. It's built real solid overall I would say, Samick tried hard to do it the right way on these.

Your next guitar?
