Love the Swinger, hate the Maverick
Well the Maverick hates you too! >:(
I refuse to believe it is capable of love
I'm kinda with you on this one. I was never a fan either.

Congrats on a great, if somewhat quirky find!! The color scheme reminds me a lot of my 59, minus the craziness. Looking forward to a NGD post with details and the story on this one.

Agreed. Although it looks fucked, I love that someone somewhere was so committed to playing their guitar they'd do anything to keep it alive. I've seen a lot of similar mods done to guitars that have lived in poor areas of Africa and such where throwing it away would mean they couldn't play anymore so they just adapt and make it work. If it meant the musician could still enjoy and express themselves I say do what the hell you can with whatever you've got.

If that was done for weight-relief then it boggles the mind why it wasn't done to the back. Fucking madness but, ah well, it's just a guitar at the end of the day

If those carves are going to be filled with bondo then I'd prefer to see it stay the way it is :D :D
