Headstock/tuning key nightmare.

Heartbreaking.

Would. At least my inner Billy Gibbons wants it.

Should have stayed a legend...

It's like Gumby with a bad disease.
Muscular I am thanking.

The fact that they haven’t been able to sell it for the last 36 years says a lot.

These come up every so often. Nobody ever plays them, so they're always NOS. Gibson made a limited number, they were highly sought after at the time, and they keep being resold between collectors. This is just the most recent listing.

Headstock/tuning key nightmare.

Imagine Ric-style 12 on that...

Well, what is the point of a guitar that you don't play? (rhetorical, don't answer) This one is not for me.

 

[sleewell]

when you say the words guitar version of inbreeding i would picture this guitar.

I would take issue with the NOS label then. If it’s been bought it’s not NOS, it’s used period. I don’t care if the case has ever been opened. If someone bought it, it’s used. No exceptions.

Take it up with the listing creator.

Trust me, I would sue them over it. Without a second thought.

Guitar is $14,000. I don't care what he calls it. I'm not buying it.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I hate this guitar.

Truth

 

[Chad]

I love those, except for the headstock. It's not because the headstock is terrible looking, it is the string pull and how close the tuners are.

 

[Psychotronic]

I could never get past the Rube Goldberg machine of a headstock.
