I love the shape of the body on those Performers. Very nice!

Wow looks very much like those expensive Klein guitars, which came first?
I don't think it's weird, but here's my most "different" guitar
We had one of those come through the shop a couple of years ago. That one was an ESP, IIRC. Fun guitar.I don't think it's weird, but here's my most "different" guitar
I think the original was a J FrogWas that originally a BC Rich that was "frankenstratet" into this piece of work/art?
These are recent builds by Dave Rusan, who built the original Cloud that featured in the movie.
That's what I remember, too.I think the original was a J Frog
There are a lot of clever and well-executed ideas in that guitar. So much so that they're kind of crowding each other out. It would be lovely to see some of those ideas realized in a situation where they have room to breathe.A project of my brother in his early days as a guitar builder. ;-)

I kinda dig the Gibson. They’ve done some hideous prototypes but that one is cool.#1... Still have this one- Saw it in Albuquerque- I think I paid $100 because idk what it was and never saw anything like it and I always buy 12 strings... turns out it's an epiphone acoustic 12 string neck, I think MIJ 80's (they were bolt on) on an SG body. One P90 is real, One P90 isn't, and just covers up old bridge screws. It's pretty cool I guess. I probably paid what it's worth.

#2... No longer have this one...
Saw it for $300, Advertised as a Fake/Copy... offered $100, got it for 200.
Gibson Eye Guitar, real Gibson, Not fake. All the ones they made were red, this one is black... there was anywhere from 2 to 8 ever made as prototypes. Sold it for like 13x what I paid.

The original was a J Frog as stated before. ESP had a habit of taking his and Diresta's designs and releasing them as their own. I ordered the body from a guy in Canada that was selling them years ago (not sure if he still is). I spent a decent amount of time adding to the carving and reshaping some parts. A local artist painted it for me. I'm a HUGE BC Rich fan, so I dismantled one of my guitars and put them on the body. Only thing I don't like is the body is oversized...that guy started making them the right size after I mentioned it to him, but I wasn't worried enough to go through the trouble to start from scratch again. Sorry for the long reply.Was that originally a BC Rich that was "frankenstratet" into this piece of work/art?

Bruised banana, hah!This modified Peavey OCC (Orange County Choppers). Original black paint has been removed and body burnt(?). Volume pot has been modded with a skull. Got this in exchange for an Ibanez acoustic guitar I got from my friend. I changed the pickup to a vintage DiMarzio PAF (not in picture).
