Bauer Guitars "Death Of Decency" hand-carved Telecaster (Aaaarrrggghhh! More skulls!)
guitarz.blogspot.com:
Regular readers of
Guitarz will likely already know that of all the terrible guitar clichés, my absolute pet hate is skulls on guitars. This
hand-carved monstrosity from Bauer Guitars has hundreds of the bloody things, plus tombstones, and even the figure of Death himself with his scythe. I don't know what more I can say about this guitar. It's certainly not my kind of thing despite the artistry and many hours that must have gone into its creation; however I'm sure there are other folks out there who'll go mad for it.
Currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $2,000 (I guess that's to reflect the time that went into making this piece but I think it's mightily optimistic).

An Epiphone Neck Attached To... What On Earth Is That Supposed To Be?
guitarz.blogspot.com: Do you think someone actually consciously DESIGNED this guitar body? My guess is that it's the result of randomly cutting out shapes from a piece of wood with a jigsaw. It does have a vague heraldic look to it, but I'm...

The "it's Supposed To Be A Snake But It Looks Like Something Much More Unpleasant" Telecaster
