Play, Keep or Wood Chipper?

Play the Kramer, keep the Guild, chip the Schechter.
Play the Izzy, keep the Nuge, chip the Duffy.
 
I will admit the headstock on the Kramer is horrific but I don't mind the other two.

The Kramer would have been a pretty cool guitar, I think, if it had the normal pointy Kramer headstock. This one was supposedly a one-off (or few-off) for the Kramer NAMM booth.
 
I have to keep the Duffy. I have always wanted a White Falcon
I would play Ted's out of curiosity.
I love the Gibson and honestly could get the most use out of that guitar, but it has to go in the chipper.
 
I'd play the Falcon, keep the ES-175, and chip the Byrdland. Pickups are too close together and Byrdlands don't sound all that great to me.
 
i agree. i dont hate byrdlands but the the very short scale doesnt lend itself to tones i love
 
The Kramer would have been a pretty cool guitar, I think, if it had the normal pointy Kramer headstock. This one was supposedly a one-off (or few-off) for the Kramer NAMM booth.

That headstock with the locking nut, string retainer, and string posts looks like an obstacle course for changing strings at live gigs. That is on top of the Floyd. As you said, it would be more appealing if it had the hockey stick headstock. I do not understand what headstock design issue/flaw Floyd was trying to remedy with that design.
 
Keep the Guild
Play the kramder
Chip the Trito. It's just a V with a dick.

Semi rockers is a tough call.

Keep the 175
Play the Falcon
Chip the Byrdland (Sorry Ted...)
 
Byrdlands are good for big extended jazz chords (that's what they were designed for), as the short scale makes the stretches possible. Thing is, they don't sound as good for jazz as a 175.
 
Done with mirrors

Keith Urban shattered mirror Telecaster.

Keith Urban wanted something similar to Paul Stanley's guitar. He hired the head of Fender Custom Guitar shops Yuriy Shishkov to make his famous “Shattered” Telecaster. After three months and 160 pieces of mirror, Shishkov is quoted telling Fender executives “If anyone will ask for another one like this, tell them it’s $100,000.”
