I came across this listing on craigslist for an SG style guitar in Van Halen Frankie dress.
Vote in the poll. Is this thing rad, or is it just bad?
Personally, I kinda like it as a fun and playful imagining of a history that never was.

I'm going to go with bad... That poor SG didn't deserve to be mangled like that.

Wow, the poll is not looking good for VH SG.
I was speculating about what that guitar might have originally been. The "Gibson" truss rod cover seems to have been used on Epiphone necks in the late 90s and very early 2000s. If that is a bolt on Epi neck, the headstock has obviously been re-shaped.
The droopy body is certainly not from an Epiphone.

I'm gonna have to go with, neutral, but potentially fun. Eye of Beholder, and all.
