OBSCURA NAB THEMSELVES A SIGNATURE GUITAR

This actually looks perversely cool...

 

[Toothpick]

That sure is...spikey :ugh:

 

[Naren]

Very spikey. I've only heard like 2 or 3 songs by Obscura, but I never noticed they used sevens. Interesting...

I don't believe they did on the current or previous album. I'm pretty sure they will be on the next though.

Can't stand the guitar, but I love the band. Glad they're getting a model!

 

[darren]

It's just a copy of a Hondo H-1 from the 1980s.

Halo made a copy of the same guitar.

Perhaps my favourite unorthodox shape.

 

[Mike]

Ah, my first thought was the JTG Infinity, which is the same guitar as the Hondo H-1. :yesway:

 

[Randy]

Didn't realize the Hondo even had the same headstock. Would kill for one of those. :yum:

 

[Nyarlath]

I hope I'm not the only one to think that guitar is damn ugly.

 

[Soopahmahn]

I hope I'm not the only one to think that guitar is damn ugly.

Nope. :wavey:

 

[7deadlysins]

I'm a big fan of pointy guitars, and its not the worst design i've ever seen, but I wouldn't play it. :lol:

 

[Nyarlath]

I'm going to reference the "I Realized Super-Strat is my Favorite Body Type" thread. The Dean ML is pretty cool, but I like mostly symmetrical shapes in a guitar body.

 

[Alan]

I'd feel bad for the bandmember that got too close to the business ends of that guitar.... that has to be classified as a lethal weapon.

 

[Leon]

It's just like my XV500, but with upper-fret access :lol:

 

[Nyarlath]

It's just like my XV500, but with upper-fret access :lol:

But that's an Ibanez, all faults forgiven

 

[Orsusmetal]

I don't believe they did on the current or previous album. I'm pretty sure they will be on the next though.

They did for 2 songs on Cosmogenesis. The title track was one of them, can't remember the other off the top of my head. Christian was the only one who used it on the album. They both told me that there was going to be a lot more 7 string on the new album. I'm looking forward to it.

Also, I talked to Steffen recently and he said this guitar will be around 2,100 euros. He thinks. It looks awesome in person.

 

[budda]

If I wanted to look my most brutal, I would rock that guitar. Aside from that, nope.

 

[Reverend 7 Strings of Hate]

hate the look of the guitar. love the band.

 

[James]

I love the look of the XV500 (hell, I tried to buy it when Donnie was selling it), but there's something I'm not quite liking about the Obscura guitar. I'm definitely not a fan of the headstock, and there's something about the lines of the treble side of the body that seems "off" to me.
