The last time my guitar looked like that, I had a three hour conversation with my cat, who turned invisible. :P

I can see why a guy would need that 12 Necker.

Every good Packers fan needs that cheesehead V.

The Brian Eastwood web site indicates the guitars are functional but I would imagine intonation would be an issue what with the parallel frets and an angled bridge. Visually it makes me think of The Cat In The Hat.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

They look like they were left out in the sun too long!

It's all carefully designed to be fully playable. I guess that while the bridge is angled, it's still suitably aligned with the frets.
From what I remember when they came out (mid 90s, it was a long time ago...) they have a wooden core with a moulded plastic body around it.

haha, different for sure. I remember seeing an article on the bumblefoot guitar a few years ago, so when I saw the other cheese one it instantly came to mind.

I've played a Brian Eastwood Distortocaster and one of his "S-type" guitars, there used to be a great guitar store in Rochdale that stocked his stuff. While the Distortocaster wasn't exactly my thing, the Strat copy was a very fine instrument indeed.

I have seen several "cheese" guitars,including Les Pauls and Strats and a mild version of the bubblegum guitar.I'd be interested in seeing the included case-that would really have to be quite a job to build.
