Wow. Looks like they had Pete Townshend cut that hole! It's a Frankenstein for sure. But.... I've seen people do wonders with abused guitars. I'm sure it could be salvaged if someone was inclined to invest the time. Look's like it's been played a fair bit so she must have had some good mojo at some point in her journey.

Or..... at worst it can just be an interesting wall hanger.

If it were mine I'd limit myself to about $200, use my own labor and see what it turns into. But that's what I like to do, it's not for everybody.

If all else fails send the pictures to Vintage Guitar magazine. They seem to enjoy researching old oddball guitars.

Here's another Hoyer reference:

Quote from Kulle_Wumpenteich

The headstock looks a little like Hoyer.

So it could be possible that it is a modded Hoyer Jazz-Guitar especially the pickups.

Agree, good eye. Same control plate as this Hoyer solid body:

Am I the only one that thinks the trajectory of this thread will lead to a bad place? Back to Kemper please.

Quote from V8guitar

BTW I have a new one in the pipeline....watch this space!

Oh good lord, it's not purple is it?

Quote from ST

With respect to this model, people love it or hate it. There's not much in-between.

I love it, but admit if it were mine it would probably end up hanging on a wall because I'd be afraid to touch it.

Don't touch it!
We'll I wasn't going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Well... don't point! It can't be played.

Quote from V8guitar

Just an all time classic!

Real guitars are just for old people.

Quote from octopus

Often underrated Lindsey's one of the all-time best. Top tier at playing, singing, writing and getting chicks.

Quote from V8guitar

My friend is in an 80's hair metal band ( slightly comedic- they don't take themselves too seriously) and they've just a Christmas song, which I think is quite good.

Note the Kemper!

The best line is....now, who wants stuffing....

That looks like a fun band, good song, great outfits. Hair band with extra cheese.

Just finished this build.

Quilted mahogany top, maple core veneer, mahogany back. Honduran mahogany one-piece neck, quilted ebony fretboard, flamed birch binding and headstock veneer. Jescar SS frets, handwound humbuckers. Tru oil finish.

Wow, you sure know how to select wood and that bookmatch is perfect. I love the carved top profile, A real work of art. I'm now inspired to build something that doesn't involve screwing around with nitro. Well done!

Quote from BayouTexan

Studying PT mixes while snortin whiskey. Two mixes of the same song. Interesting when you can compare versions like this.

Well I was a teenager when this came out so I'll run my response through my teenage boy brain. It's all about T&A, and what you prefer. Live version, more T, Studio, definitely more A.

Quote from V8guitar

This has just been released...still getting used to it.

I usually don't care for the speed style but this does have a bit more meat on the bone than just psycho speed riffing. It sort of grows on you.

Quote from V8guitar

Gotoh trem and Bareknuckle Holy Diver fitted.

Gave it a road test on Saturday, very happy!!

BayouTexan - Mr Charvel man, does she met your exacting standards?

What? After all that and it's only HALF-purple?

Congrats,

.....now put a rosewood neck on it.

Quote from Hoki Toki

That's exactly what I look like driving a car with a manual transmission.

Quote from BBayyo

Let's see what I can do for the curve:

Started taking lessons in 1957.

Looks like we got a winner.

Wow, we're an old group! 1972 for me. First public performance 1974 9th grade school assembly with two buddies. A thoroughly cheesy acoustic rendition of Stairway to Heaven. Of course. First Valve amp I bought: Rickenbacker B212 - good luck trying to find one of those anymore.

Quote from GearJocke

Nothing that says he's using a kemper.

Huh? He talks about the effects and MBrit profile he's using just before going over solo 1.

Excellent example of using the Kemper Auto Wah with Green Scream in Rare Earth cover how to.

1st and 2nd solos.

Quote from Sollazzon

Oh my...

Part of me says get one, it's cool, because it seems like something James Bond would have. But in reality I don't think I have the desire or patience to regularly change components on a guitar I play ever day even if it's relatively simple. Heck, I don't even like changing strings. Still,......might like to get one just to have it and marvel at the engineering. I can be pretty impracticable. Starts at $2,000.
