Yeah man! If they made a guitar version, they have to shorten that horn about half way.
The general shape of the body and pickup/pickguard layout would be great for a guitar... and I'd buy one even without hitting the lottery!!! :rawk:

1. It’s not headless
2. It’s not multiscale
3. It’s not made of composite materials
4. It doesn’t have a trem
5. I prefer six strings, but I’ll play four

But, aesthetically, I’d be all over that.
You definitely know what you want in a bass!!! If you hit the lottery and offered them $30,000, I bet they'd make one to your specs!!!

It'd be perfect for my Jetson's tribute band.

I'd pay to hear your CD, vinyl or, streams!!!!

Ha!!! That... and you have to be a bad ass bass player to get on stage with a flashy axe like that!!!
Or Loop while wearing the Powerglove. :idk:
I'd pay to see that!!! :lol:

Looks like a drugged out retro Rick… which is already retro. I’m not mad at it though.
Yeah, I'm not too keen on the bolt on thing, either. But, if I hit the lottery, I'd be all over it!!! :lol:

^^^ Right!?!?!?^^^ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


So, I sent an email to the manufacturer to ask if they would build a 6 string guitar with 22 frets and a slightly shorter top horn... same color, same pickup style and same pickguard. :rawk: :rawk: :rawk: :rawk: :rawk:
