BGUF - Beautiful Guitar, Ugly Feet

[Nuuska]

since reading this post a while back, i make sure to remove feet from picture frame now before i hit the click button

Or you might deliberately put your foot in there just for the heck of it - like I did on my latest NGD-post

Beautiful vintage Hagstrom Viking with ugly feet. Graciously the toes almoust disappear under the strap and sofa which saves us from further trauma.

You know this thread has had a lot of value when I'm trying to plan a picture of my feet that just happens to have a guitar in it

Is it a cultural phenomenon that there aren't any pictures of women's feet? Only men are proud of their feet?

Pressed Rat's collection, also not to be seen.

Oh, there sure are some. You just have to look harder. I think it reflects the ratio male/female guitar players which is 9/1 approx.

There you go:

Some time ago there was a somehow disturbing picture in a Guild group on reddit some of you might be familiar with. I still don't know what to think of it. Too much crazy in one shot. Suggestions?

 

[walrus]

That ashtray full of butts is the most disturbing thing in that photo!

Good Lord, what happened here??? Why? how? No foot today, but a (guilty?) hand.

Case closed, socks on! I'm not sure what the fuzzy cotton balls are about, though.

That looks like Yngwie’s studio. Let me see if I can find a pic.

Old video of Yngvie Malmsteen’s studio. Those are all rare Strats.

I'm stunned. I never cared for him as player (all technique but very little passion, IMHO). I think even less of him after seeing that video.

YMMV, of course, and he can certainly do what he wants with his guitars, but how can he treat those guitars like that? You can hear them banging into each other as he takes them in and out of the pile. Does he not know that guitar stands have been invented?

This quote from the video says it all: "...just another one..."

Good old Yngwie. What's not to like about him

The really painful part starts at 4:40, where he starts to rip the instruments out of the pile and bangs them back again. One handed, of course, with the other hand he has to hold his drink.

The picture I posted in post 128 is from this ad: https://www.tutti.ch/de/vi/bern/musik/instrumente/diverse-gitarren-ab-99/38627463
Really makes me want to buy a guitar from this guy! - noooot

It's all about the show. That's his shtick, show us your shtick

And here a close-up from

NGD - DK70 NT “Peacock”

I acquired this one, which was recently posted here on LTG. I never played a Koa guitar before and frankly my expectations were not too high. I assumed this guitar was designed as a collector’s guitar with sound quality a secondary consideration. I also was not sure how a Koa-topped guitar...

Good job Nuuska! I missed that, drooling over the guitar...

My contribution for today:

Drummers can do it, too! No more drummer jokes.

Aaaaaand yet another death-defying chair-hopper. Maybe our artist of the day was inspired by Ellen DeGeneres who is said to have said:
“When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.”

I think the assistant photographer forgot to get out of the way.
