When does it become too much?

Re: When does it become too much?

After 4 bottles of Guiness you'd play that thing like a drunk red headed Irish wench!

Well, first I wouldn't drink Guinness from a bottle. That's sacrilege. And secondly, I don't have to be drunk to play a gaudy guitar or take advantage of an inebriated damsel. In fact, my performance would be affected negatively in both cases, I think.

And four bottles? That's lightweight, man...

Yeah this look like something for hanging on the wall not for playing...to much "Ginger bread" as my grandma would say!

I used to get email newsletters from them.. they are always very ornate like that. to me its Gaudy.. One of the worst guitars Ive ever seen as far as gaudy ( I feel guilty saying this as I LIKE what it represented) was a Christ tribute accoustic Gibby put out a few years ago that depicted scenes from different part of his life.. But man, was it busy

I think it has a lot of artistic flair.

+1. It's not the kind of guitar you'd take to a neighborhood coffee shop gig; it's meant to be played by a big name at a concert that's being filmed for a DVD. For that it's fine. There are guitars that not meant to be day-to-day players. This is one of them. As far as being gaudy, there's Gretches that are certainly worse.
