So much additional context for the kitschy seafoam green U2 that has been hanging on my bedroom wall for many years! I play it every day, unplugged, but am still as unhip as back in the 90s.
Oh man that thing looks amazing in seafoam! And yeah, they're truly great to play unplugged for some reason. I don't know if they should in theory, but they are.
That was not only a thoughtful and intelligent essay on the guitar (seeing it sat next to a Les Paul was mind blowing in a way I never expected...) but it was just plain weird in a way you don't find on the internet anymore. Laudable effort. If it helps to be angry at people... f*ck you. You're Welcome. I'm definitely going to buy a U2 cheap off Marketplace.
Thank you very much! Weird is not always the aim but definitely a common side effect, especially when it comes to a guitar like this one. I wish you luck on your Marketplace quest. It's a shady world but it certainly pays off and a U2 would be very good loot to carry back home.
You really ironed out the "art-deco" misconception. 50s is 50s, in it's most severe form it's 'Googie.' Art Deco is an era in style that is very culminative, it's mature, has the past integrated in it's ornamentation, democratizes a sense of class. Art-deco is so modern, yet every modernist concept of the past 60 years can't even comprehend it. People assume modern must be uninspiring, and then they willfully bring forth their horrific assault on public life. Everything from utilitarian housing projects to what we call a 'nice' new house in 2024. Yet what was supposed to be a new standard (deco), like jazz which itself is a genre of "the standards" inevitably is disintegrated and gutted. So whether it's 50's "Googie" or 20's Deco, good things are let go of. We neither get a nice world full of 50's Jetson-y Space Age, or a Classy world of F. Scott. People calling a 1950's guitar deco actually have their heart in the right place curiously enough. Because modern visions have peaks, and progress never is linear in our fallen world, the 'sub par' is the litter we contend with 90% of the time, when contriving the 'forward thinking' concepts for every passing year. We are emotionally incontinent and change up style with misinformed whims, with the attention-span and awareness of a goldfish.
It amazes me how one can simply toss a bunch of stuff about a silly guitar into the wild and then one, out of the blue, you get such a reply as this one. Thanks for that! Exchanges like this one make the endless, clumsy editing hours worth it.

This is honestly my favorite review of the year, love the style, and the 50s bit was great lol
Thanks! I'm so happy it didn't turn out to be just one of those unnecessarily long jokes for myself and no-one else I tend to spend hours into.
I clicked for the Dano + lipstick pickups, and stayed for Baudrillard
You have issues, get help.
My God! You're crazy as hell! 😂😂😂 I have DC59, not a hipster, just born in 1959!
Fuck don't make me like you by being nice! DAMMIT NOW I LIKE YOU FUCK!
@@lonerjuanDon't stop breaking down! 🤪🤪🤪

30 minutos de video y no la hiciste sonar nunca 😔
Cierto, pero a que nunca habías visto una review de guitarra que te meta a Jean Baudrillard!
