Guitar customisation: right or wrong?

Gabriel013 · 03-31-2005, 01:29 AM

This came up when my neighbour was telling me about a guitar forum he's a member of. He got into a huge debate with the other members regarding customising their guitars.

The sort of thing I'm talking about is one of the members bought a Jagstang (sp?), you know the one I mean; It was designed by Kurt Cobain.
Anyways, this guy bought one and then proceeded to file the body to give it the slope of a Strat. My neighbours arguement was that if that's the shape you wanted why not buy Strat in the first place!

He's said he's not against people changing the bridge or the pickups but as far as changing the shape to make it like another guitar he doesn't see the point.

What's your views?

i saw the title of this thread and got a stomach ache. i disagree with really screwing up a guitar, since they are pricision instruments (unlike my spelling). however, a person has the right to do whatever they want with their stuff, so i guess the short version is, i wouldn't do that, but others can if they want.

P.S. why would you buy a strat, when you could buy a Les Paul?

I'm not big on the different guitar types. My mate told me about the discussion and I thought I'd get the views of people here

I thought Arnold may have had something to say..
