After seeing the chap from Poino wrestle with his whatever-the-fuck-it-is, I kinda fancy looking into getting something a bit more 'wonky' after having played a Stratish, Teleish and Jazzmaster for so long.
Of course, nowdays 'unusual and wonky' doesn't come cheap like it used to, but what are some of your faves, either brands or models? Old or current?
This post makes me sound like a total poser, I realise: I just wanna see dat wonk*.

^ that's a prototype for the reissue, based on the tailpiece.
Did they ever make that reissue available publicly?

I don't really know. Just came across it and flinched. I love me some odd ball designs, but that is not good.

this came up in my ebay feed

you strike me as a bud who likes modern conveniences like flat radii, and slim necks etc, which is why i think these soviet/eastern bloc guitars may not be for you. this is basically a strat on a pointy body but whatever, you can always mod it

the framus i had must've had a 24" radius or something, it was the flattest i've ever played. was like strumming a desk.

It's called the Burns Flyte, by the way. There was also an upside down version called the "Mirage".
There was also a sort of copy, but not really (not symmetrical, weird body material), of the Flyte by Switch guitars called the "Revolution".

if you like that you may like the gretsch electromatic range too. they look cool, i just didn't like the pickups at all. the double jet just looks so awesome
