Get Your Shred On With Koopa Troopa Guitar

Well, yeah it's cool. For the novelty. It doesn't stand up to the sexy shape of a V or a Razorback. Or many others. Also, where's the whammy bar?

Looks kinda uncomfortable, it's probably more of a eyecandy thing than practical.

That said, I wouldn't hesitate to bust out some tunes on it. The satisfaction would be overwhelming.

It's a standard guitar from what I can see, just funny shaped. The shape of the guitar may in some cases change sound slightly but it's an electric, so all of the sound is in the pick-ups. I'd enjoy playing it, although it looks like it may be a little difficult to reach the frets
after about 16 or 17. I would have to be playing it to know though. For now I'll stick with my Les Paul.


Edit: I would buy this guitar in a second though if I had the money.

That's not a standard shape buddy, look at his protruding foot - tell me that wouldn't get annoying after an hour or so of playing. And as you said, the fretboard gets a little hectic towards the top end. I'm sure you could work around that though, provided you've got long ET fingers like me.

When I said a standard guitar I meant the set up (bridge, fretboard, neck etc. there's nothing there that would make it difficult to play or not work.)

As for the long fingers, I don't got them mine are longer than most people's but not like ET by any stretch, I do however have a huge hand-span (best way I can describe it) so I probably could hit things near the high frets. I learned on an acoustic with no cut out so it was a bit of a necessity for certain things I wanted to do.

Edit: The lack of cut-away near the high frets may cause problems, but once again I played an acoustic without a cutout for a long time, it's something I adapted to

I don't know if it would get annoying, I think it would have to depend on how I myself was oriented while playing, I mean were I standing it would be alright, sitting would be a bit of a no go until I could work out a way to hold it and play it without getting a koopa foot in the groin.
