Fed up of the way polyurethane coats suck the tone out of your guitar? Try a coat of leather instead  |

| From a distance I thought the brown guitar was sorta cool, then I realised it was a leather guitar. WHY. |

The tone of the guitar would be irrelevant anyway. It's got EMGs. |

| , glw and, before the "I love EMGs" flame wars start, he's absolutely right. Their pups really are designed to "sound like chicken" irrespective of the rest of the woodwork holding them in. |

Looks kinda 3D. Is that one of those guitars with objects suspended in clear plastic?
I remember Henry Kaiser had one which had plastic cuttlefish inside it. |

Looks more like they covered it in glue and then drug it thru the trash. Looks like prices start at $4800...  |

| I think there's something just that little bit nicer when you find a guitar that not only looks shit, but costs close to 5K. Good find Myfoot. |

I've never read Premier Guitar, and this little Pseud's Corner review of the Totem Guitar convinces me I haven't missed anything. Exactly the sort of onanistic ink-spilling my old editor would have beaten me up for if I'd ever submitted such drivel:
| Quote: | | From the multi-coursed proto-guitars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to Leo Fender’s Eames-like utility of the mid-twentieth century, the combination of art and design has been a constant in the evolution of the guitar. Today, makers like James Trussart combine recognizable shapes with non-traditional materials while others, like Teuffel, ignore all constraints to pursue a singular vision, with the results often looking more like modern sculpture than something resembling a guitar – Michael Spalt’s Voodoo twins, from his Totemguitars line, fall somewhere in-between. |
Yeah, , the trouble with falling between two stools is that it ends up looking like shite from all directions. |
