Mike Campbell's 'Hamburguitar'
Here's an offset you probably won't see every day - it was built by Bernie Hamburger (what's in a name? ) for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' guitarist Mike Campbell, and as you can see the guitar not only features a Jazzmaster/Jaguar-style trem & bridge, but also seems to have a Jaguar-pickup :

Prodigy meets Ric meets Swinger meets Mosrite meets Jag meets Burns meets Tele meets Gibby meets Kay.... etc.
Something for everybody there... on a reverse offset body.

I think if my name were Hamburger I would change it to "von Hamburg".

Not sure if anyone else is a fan of south park but, if anyone knows the episode with the crazy rednecks yelling "day took 'er jerbs" well when I first read "hamburguitar", I said it out loud in the same way as the crazy rednecks said their phrase. Just thought it was amusing.

Mike Campbell could play one of those stupid-looking "Bumblefoot" guitars...
...and he'd STILL be one of the most tasteful players out there today.
Something about that guy's playing gets me. I love it.
The guitar looks great! Aside from the pickups, that is...

Re: Mike Campbell's 'Hamburguitar'
It appears b.t.w. that the main inspiration for the shape of this guitar was Jerry Garcia's famous 'Tiger', which was built in the late 70's -
