Hey guys,
I live in Japan and I kept seeing this strange travel guitar. It's called a GR-PPG and you can see it here or even buy it from here (I have nothing to do with this site, just saw it in English). It's supposedly made by Grassroots which is ESP's cheapo line for the Asian market, but this one doesn't even have a name on it nor is it on their website, which is why it took me a while to find it. I thought it was as stripped down as you could get while still being somewhat Strat-like.
Just thought you guys might enjoy it.
Keith.

Bizarre! Like something out of a bad dream!
ReplyDelete"It's funny, but you can almost "see" the body shape that isn't there - it's just what you are expecting, I guess." You're not kidding! Every time I look at the first two photos, my brain just tells me it's a white Strat with a black pickguard. It's like an optical illusion or something.
ReplyDeleteWrong. Just wrong.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who had the idea of that one but, if the parts are of good quality, it's pure genius§ Even the strap buttons are well thought so you can play without a too heavy neck like many "travel guitars". I think I'm gonna check their website and maybe oreder one of those. I definetely let you know about it...
ReplyDeleteid like one just for the weirdo factor
ReplyDeleteJust draw the guitar body on your shirt.
ReplyDeleteI think it's brilliant. A weight reliefer for us WHO has had backa.
ReplyDeleteI love this simple idea. :)
