From the shadowy dark web (eBay) comes another neglected, abused, altered and insulted abomination. This 59-61 National Val Trol Junior has seen some serious $hizznit. Its horn was hacked off, its skin flayed from its body. Its headstock was hacked and chopped, chipped and clipped, and as if that weren't enough, it then suffered the worst fate of all for a vintage guitar...it found its poor, unfortunate soul in the hands of a full-time eBay parts flipper, and was drawn and quartered into 100 tiny pieces to be dispersed about the planet. A hundred flights, a hundred bubble wrap envelopes, a hundred extra dollars, a hundred enemies. Legend has it, half of this guitar is still sitting in their eBay store at 400% market value.
Malaise of Modernity aside, with great determination and an even greater bin of era-correct parts, our hero set out to resurrect this wretched skeleton of a guitar into EVEN MORE than what it started out as. Not only was it given new life, it was given transistors and capacitors and resistors (perhaps too many!) and nine volts of direct current.
Now, rather than just a guitar, it is a short scale sleeper, an out of control, fiery ball of chaos, drowning in the ever deepening feedback of the modern dystopia, screaming back at the world that destroyed it. I WILL BE MOTHER F#$$%## HEARD!
