So, where do my favorite toys fall on this amusing scale from Gearpipe?
GearPipe.com | Trustworthiness of Guitars Scale
I do have to say… I don’t get why the Prince guitar is for repugnant individuals. I guess if you’re not Prince, it is a goofy axe to sling. I am glad that the boring Washburn/Jackson/Ibanez shape is all the way on the left though. I just can’t get behind them. I’m not sure why the oh-so-common Les Paul and Stratocaster shapes convey any level of trustworthiness of the player. Perhaps I’m over-thinking. This is quite amusing nonetheless.
Seriously though, I can’t find any of these…

Heh. At least you exist. Also… that Jackson/Washburn/Ibanez shape shows up twice… granted with different setups… but why such a difference in perception? I don’t get why the Strat & Les Paul are “brother from another mother”/”trust with band money”.

It’s a Schecter. It shows up once with a stoptail and then again with a Floyd Rose. Odd.

Ah, they all look the same to me. That “mean Strat” 80’s looking shredder guitar shape is just irritating. I don’t know why 1 would be more irritating than the other… just for a Floyd Rose.

It’s funny that the most trustworthy guitar is the Jerry Garcia model.
This pic does make me want an Explorer, another Flying V and possibly a doubleneck though…

I actually had to look that up. I had no idea what it was. Never trust a hippie.
You might as well get a double-neck.
I always thought if I bought a bass I’d want a Thunderbird. I think I can rock the Explorer-type shapes… but I would just look silly with a sweet-looking Warlock… which aren’t on this scale.
Also, I’m drawn to the Fernandes Ravelle lately.

I just meant that I should get those three because they’re in the “girlfriend stealer” category. hahaha
