I'm not gonna lie, the headstock is ugly. But there remains something that I like about it. The same with the fretboard markers.

Re: Zachary Guitars: A Review

His website makes him come across as the biggest tool. How many times does he have to call regular guitar buyers morons or stupid? He spends equal amount of time bashing other makers as well. This guy has zero class and its painfully obvious.

Maybe he's aiming for a niche market of people who enjoy being insulted and blowing money on purposely built crappy guitars.

Like BriGuy, I took a look at the website. That's all I have to say about that, and that should say it all.

This statement will sound significantly better than any mass produced, plagiarized or any statement which is the result of an unenlightened mind, such as mine.)

I've met a few people with this sort of personality type.

The most recent one was a fencer.....working on the property of a client of mine. Tried to tell me how to do my job (a retaining wall), that most people used tools incorrectly, and he was the best ever.

He only did half the job and never returned to complete the work (or get paid). The half he did do looked like a rollercoaster ride.

OK, I intended to steer clear of the matter of unique personalities and still do.

However I WILL say that we have an expression in Greek whose literal translation is "When you hear of many cherries, you should carry a small basket".
The meaning of course being that, whenever someone talks big, you should expect them to act small.

I have had a handful of encounters with such big-talkers in the guitar-building world and, well, let me just say that I have yet to meet one who had the skills to back it up...

I like that saying Keeper. I might just start using that one. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Zachary Guitars: A Review

AHA!! I get it!! Looking at his site, that explains the flaws in the guitar reviewed here. The human touch, irregularity, variability and inconsistency.
So, if flaws are what makes a guitar so good, I expect that there will be no more Gibson bashing on this site..... haha

Re: Zachary Guitars: A Review

The website is hilarious. He mentions "John Meyer ", and there is a testimonial from "the lawyer who bought your guitar". Shades of Ed Roman, indeed.

The guitars pictured remind me of a quote (can't recall from who) about modern art; "Before someone paints me their impression of a cow, I'd like to see them paint an actual cow; then we can work from there."

Parker+1

If it's weird but functional (like a Parker), I can dig it. If it's weird and won't stay in tune, what'a the point?

Love that quote. If the impression of a cow is all you can do, it is less, um, impressive.
