Ah, the beauty of weird guitars and customs.


I sure would love to own the angel sword. I wonder how it plays like, or do these funny wood shapes screw with the tones of the guitars ?


Personally, my axe would be one that looks like any other normal guitar, but with a switch which I would press, and real blades would stick out from the end, turning it into a real weapon that could 'shred' someone literally.

I wonder if there's any guitar out there with real weapons concealed inside.

Share more pics of weird and cool custom guitar pics here.

i've heard only the mass of the wood affects the tone. So theoretically the shape doesn't matter. Don't know if that's true or not

the mass is one.
i've also heard where its placed matters.
like for cutaways, some prefer as much wood as possible along the edge of the neck at the bass side.
some also like the upper bout to have more wood.
gotta do with having more wood on the bass side so the strings on that side vibrate more etc.

You got issues, man... icon_rolleyes.gif

These guitars would make great conversation pieces, the kinda stuff you'd probably display in the living room for your guests to gawk at. But playing them live or dragging them to jam studios? Heck, with that kind of price tag you'd probably kill yourself if it got dinged in the studio or on the stage...

Plus not to mention having to deal with every Tom, d*** and Harry who'd go up to you and say, "Nice axe, dude! Can I try it?" ...and you'd be furiously trying to find a polite way of declining or cringe in silence when you see them whacking out Smells Like Teen Spirit on your USD10k custom angel sword guitar... sweat.gif

Ted Nugent has slammed PANTERA's cover of his signature tune "Cat Scratch Fever" as having "no soul, no balls" and "no feel," adding that the members of PANTERA appeared as "Ozzy-like zombies on TV" whose conduct on stage went against his lifelong anti-drugs and -drink stance.

Responding to a fan posting on Nugent's official message board (dubbed "The Nuge Board") about late PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and the VH1 "Behind the Music" special on PANTERA that premiered this past Thursday, Ted (who posts on the message board under the name "Nuge") wrote that he "never thought too highly of anyone foolish enough to take on the nickname of a life-destroying dope product and promote such family-destroying conduct on stage." (Apparently referring to the fact that Darrell's "Dimebag" nickname is a slang term for a $10 bag of marijuana.)

When another fan pointed out that Dimebag "loved" Nugent's music and that he had stated in a magazine interview that he often played some of Ted's riffs before a show to loosen up the fingers - going so far as to cover "Cat Scratch Fever" for the 1999 "Detroit Rock City" soundtrack - Nugent responded, "though I'm no expert on all things PANTERA, I did hear their version of 'Cat Scratch Fever' and it was exceedingly white. No soul, no balls, no feel. Caucasian all the way. Elements of dope, booze and heroin disconnect quite apparent as usual. There is no excuse for such horrifically negative, irresponsible, criminal, America-wrecking behavior as such chimp-like substance abuse. Period. They appeared as Ozzy-like zombies on TV. Ya think. American drunks and dopers are allahpuke terrorists' favorite allies. Damn them. Damn them all."

After the fan who started the original thread (who calls himself "the_A_team") defended Dimebag by saying that "you have to at least respect Dime as a guitarist," adding that "even though he did drugs, I heard he didn't do very many," Nugent replied, "I indeed do respect all people for the positives in their life. Sadly, there comes a time of diminishing returns in the balance. At the end of the day, my respect is reserved for those solidly in the asset column of mankind."
