Topic: PlexiGlass

Anyone ever played a see-thru guitar? According to wood afficianados they should sound awful  but I don't remember anyone ever knocking them as 'photoshoot only'.

Plastic fantastic anyone?

They're ugly, IMO, and I doubt they have any semblance of real tone.

There's a LP copy in Yellow Resin at Wesley:

I think I'll stick to wooden guitars though.

Just picked up the Xmas 'Guitar and Bass Magazine' and they have a round up cheap Les Pauls and they give the clear Wesley LP a decent review, only downside mentioned is it's heavy but tone wise they say it's OK.

Weight equals more sustain (and usually a sore shoulder after two or three sets).

Bootlegger.
