SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
Okay im just trolling myself now really. After a successful gig using a pink Hello Kitty strat I thought Id raise the stakes and see if I can gig with a guitar that is pretty much a toy.
I actually got this last week and have been trying to turn it into something vaguely playable. The fret ends were really sharp so they got filed down. I need to file down a high fret at the 16th as it's choking a bit. New strings, a bit of a setup and intoneation and it's just about playable. It sounds like an electric guitar as well. Who knew?
I will need to take it to next band rehearsal to see if I've got the balls to gig with it. I can't wait to see the look on my band mates faces when they see I've bought an even more ridiculous guitar than last time.

Stick a proper death metal pickup in there for good measure. Nazgul, tat kinda thing \m/
I'm still yearning for a Pink Hello Kitty guitar, it's probably the only guitar that I would buy since I started making my own stuff.
Love it.
Being able to legitimately watch Spongebob all day is pretty much to only reason i had a kid..
So I'll see if this pickup is ok first. It sounds fine at home volume.
Otherwise I was thinking maybe a yellow PAF pro, one of those cheap Vanson humbucker size p90s or maybe something silly from Warman pickups. There's no point in chucking much money at it really as it's just for fun.
There's no reason something as simple as this can't be made perfectly functional. It does really need square knobs though .
If you want a real challenge, you need to try gigging with one of these...

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Although if it's supposedly in Lerwick it's probably just a scam...
