Poll - Would You Gig With This?

Nice!

I reckon you wouldn't have to play 60's with it - just play it HARD! Play it well, show it no mercy & the punters won't care if you're playing a dead banana. That goes for any 'non name' guitar too. Yopu play a cheap guitar well & people won't mind...they wont even NOTICE!! I've seen it done before - A guy was demo'ing amps at the local store - picked up the cheapist guitar in the place & set it on fire (not literally). Very memorable! 8)

I'd play it, the flowers don't bother me at all. However, I'm not really a Tele fan, I'd prefer it if it were an SG ;)

So I answered "Yes" because I think you were referring to the flowers.

There is something about playing well on a non-serious looking instrument that actually appeals to me. I suppose it is the contrast.

I'd also like a Dano and one of those Italian jobs from the '60s that had more switches and knobs than anyone would know what to do with. Just for the fun of it.

This is so true. How many people in the audience know the difference between a Fender and a Squier or a Gibson and an Epiphone or a PRS and a Dano?

There is an old saying that I really like:

You can play for yourself, you can play for other musicians, or you can play for the general public. If you are good enough, you will get the audience you asked for.

The general public audience can care less what name is on your headstock. They do care what you look like, what you sound like, your selection of material, and your pacing of the crowd. They don't look at it in those terms though, they just want to have a good time.

Sure. Are you sending it to me free ? 8)

Infact I won't mind playing any 'made-for-woman' guitar as long as it plays well and is left-handed. Afterall a guitar is a guitar and is meant to be played.
