"Why did you do it? Why did you do this thing to me?"

Those look like Bunker guitars. The middle one is probably a “Duo Lectar”, which was basically a Chapman Stick before the Chapman Stick.

Edit: Oh shit, Bunker Guitars still exists!

Edit #2: Double oh shit, that’s “The Dave Bunker Show” featuring Dave Bunker at left rear!!

Freaky. Hanging out in the PNW woods too long must do something to people’s minds. There was another ‘50-70s guy building guitars near Tacoma that are just as whack as those.

Edit: the guy was Harvey Thomas and he liked building double and triple necked guitars long before Rick Nielsen came along. Also some crazy body Wander style stuff. Ian Hunter played one of his Iron Cross bass guitars in Mott the Hoople.

Another example of why heavy metal never should have happened, I guess

See, I look at that and see holy justification.

Once upon a time this was a mid 60s UK-made Vox Mark VI...

this is your brain... this is your brain on heavy metal.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Considering how many innocent guitars were mindlessly teardropped by the previous generation, I'm calling that poetic justice

I dunno... I've played metal on this... Nothing had to be destroyed.

Someone please screencap the horror for posterity and for those of us unwilling to put our faces in books?

From the comments it seems like the previous owner didn't treat this guitar very well.

Oh I don't hate it

Finish Checking! Fender American Vintage II '66 Jazzmaster 2022 - Present - Lake Placid Blue

Relicing -- I get it. But why would someone pay retail for a brand new guitar and immediately inflict a war crime of an artificial checking job upon it ("did the finish checking myself on purpose")? Despite being "very proud of how it turned out," they "barely played it," and now someone should give them allllll their money back to take this damaged guitar off their hands.

Is there anyone out there that would think "Yeah, I could pay $2399 USD to have a brand new one sent to my house, but I'd rather pay $2600 (shipping!) for a used one that fell down a staircase of razors."

Also: Dreamin'

[Rob]

The answer to my questions came quickly. I sent the link to a former bandmate, and before I could even explain why I sent it, he crudely expressed his lust for "that finish checking" and how much he loves the look.

Just one of the reasons why we're no longer bandmates.
