Seger custom bass

I wanted to share a picture of this stunning bass I commissioned by Dallas Seger (body/assembly) and EGC (neck). I had a mangled Destroyer II as a first guitar, and back then my dad had a Carvin Star bass with a Kahler. I tried to blend these into one unique, but still grounded concept. Cannot wait to play this bass.

Shed some light?

It's from the brand Aria Pro II, I'm just amused by kind show off putting it is. It's like if a Strat and. Les Paul had a bastard child.

Absolutely cryptic guitars, part 2: the J.B. Player Buick.

https://preview.redd.it/3e6ks8eu1m5e1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=f21060868304e78fedd230dee2a0be2274f63ae7

Since the reception to my other post was warmly received, here's a second installment of the J.B. Player USA coney-chasm. Of course the company built more conventional models (if it could be had from Mighty Mite, they could do it), but the Buick and Mercury hold the most intrigue for me due to just how obscure they are. If there's any interest in one of these for J.B. Player USA's other models, please make your voice known.

Absolute cryptid guitar: the J.B. Player Mercury.

I have spent days scouring the internet for images and information about the pre-production USA-made J.B. Player guitars made between 1981 and 1983. I have returned the world's foremost expert on a guitar brand only the most hardcore new wave freaks will care about. I actually got the attention of Steve Bartek himself for my efforts. Please send help.

Is this guitar worth anything

Hello again I know I've already posted about this guitar before but it's giving me loads of problems and I just want to know if it's worth anything. If it's not worth anything I'll probably just paint it or something but before I do it i just want to know if it's rare or not

Teisco Del Ray E-110

I started a channel to highlight the weird, random instruments I've found at Goodwill in 60 seconds. Thought y'all might appreciate this vid on my E-110 (Teisco's "tulip guitar"). Love this thing, but the bridge inflicts serious pain every time I use it.
