Too Beautiful to Play?

Actinic · 09-25-2011, 10:40 PM

This guitar is a work of art. Called the Pricess Isabella Jazz guiter, it was made by Jens Ritter.

Who cares what it sounds like? Some millionaire will just buy it for his oceanfront mansion, to go with his white leather sofa.

Looks like something Prince would play............gotta go and wipe up my vomit.

rockstar232007 · 09-26-2011, 01:23 AM

It reminds me of Mentos.

siore · 09-26-2011, 01:24 AM

That seems like a terrible place to put the output jack.

Ha ha, you know I was thinking the same thing when I first looked at it!

HOT-BRIT · 09-26-2011, 04:25 AM

it would be interesting to play it, I would have liked it better in black with an ebony board

lespaul01 · 09-26-2011, 04:27 AM

its an obvious fraud, there is a price on it. if it were truly priceless they would not BIN it. DUH!

Triangle Going Sick · 09-26-2011, 06:09 AM

Just noticed your sig, Mother Love Bone rock. I'd rate Andrew Wood as one of the best singers around back in the day.

dougk · 09-26-2011, 08:48 AM

Ive played the Issabellas before and know Jens personally. Really amazing guitar that is easy to appreciate in person. Also well beyond my price range.

SKATTERBRANE · 09-26-2011, 09:30 AM

I think it is stunning. It is probably a very smooth playing guitar, not the kind where you do Townshend windmills, but rather sit in a chair and place it on your knee.

nicolasrivera · 09-26-2011, 10:49 AM

I love it.... but its not a color road friendly choice.... i bet it would look even more stunning in black.

captcoolaid · 09-26-2011, 11:59 AM

1- it is a guitar
2- play the damn thing
3- wipe it down and repeat.

Zack · 12-20-2011, 08:29 AM

id probably break off a cord into the output jack

pinefd · 12-20-2011, 12:13 PM

I think it's beautiful! It kinda looks to me like a big white breath mint...after you've been sucking on it for a while, and knocked off all the sharp corners.

Looks like a Mento's!!!!

lovecacti · 12-27-2011, 02:23 PM

... and I thought the MacBook Air was thin!

Zack · 12-30-2011, 11:25 PM

looks horrible

No guitar is too beautiful, or too ugly, to play.

Pinkie · 12-31-2011, 02:05 PM

Where is the input jack? I can't see the other pics

NashvilleCat · 01-02-2012, 01:43 PM

I like it, but as other's have said, it'd be very cool in black.
It'd be a shame if someone buys that to let sit or hang and collect dust. It should be played. I have a feeling it sounds sweet and sexy as hell.
It's sad that some can't appreciate a guitar as a work of design and the craftsmanship that goes into them.
It's not just LPs that blow me away, it's all well crafted guitars. I've been to a few luthier shows and the level of craftsmanship and the love of guitars that these luthiers put into their work is amazing.

TKOjams · 01-02-2012, 01:59 PM

Too beautiful to play???

I think not...

It is after all, just a guitar.

1959burst · 01-02-2012, 02:52 PM

very beautiful but $8grand and only 1 pic?????

That looks like it'd be an absolute pain in the ass. Maybe its functional but it doesn't look like it to me, looks like your leg might be hitting and rubbing against it all night long.

Thumpalumpacus · 01-08-2012, 02:32 AM

That's what I'm thinking. I'm not really big on suffering inconvenience for the sake of appearance, although I've never played a guitar with the jack in back.

Thump - you're right. And I think there's a reason neither one of us has played a guitar with the jack in the back, its a poor design and would suck.

Thumpalumpacus · 01-08-2012, 02:45 AM

Yep. Natural selection at work.

ctkarslake · 01-22-2012, 07:41 PM

Looks like a CGI created guitar to me. Maybe is a Pixar Guitar?
