The Beatles cartoon wasn't exactly a model of accuracy, but it's funny they went to the trouble of drawing Paul with his left-handed Höfner bass but couldn't be bothered checking how many strings a bass has.

... it has four strings
― budo jeru, Friday, 17 April 2020 23:37 (four years ago) link
Oh no, hang on. This is the one I meant to post, with Paul's 6 string bass.

would totally kick it with a six-string Hofner bass though

Probably off-topic for this thread but providing a (completely implausible) snare stand is small comfort given that a kick drum with no spurs is liable to roll off the stage...
"Incredibly shit drawings of drumkits" thread would dwarf this one, if it were something that anyone but me cared about.
I mean, many non-guitarists have at least looked at guitars and kinda tried to represent what they look like. Many non-guitarists have held guitars. Some even own and display them as collectibles or art objects!
In contrast, only drum nerds have elaborate opinions about tom mounting systems, double-braced vs. single-braced cymbal stands, tilters, booms, single vs. double lugs.
Incidentally the zigzag pattern of the lines on the second Ringo pic indicate a system of rope drumhead tensioning that was becoming obsolete in the 19th century. Meanwhile the first pic is a little ahead of its time; those lugs have an 80s Pearl Export vibe!

> rope drumhead tensioning that was becoming obsolete in the 19th century
This is fascinating, because the visual trope is a constant in illustrations of toy soldiers, the little drummer boy, etc. It seems to carry over into images of trap sets, even though there was no overlap.
― Julius Caesar Memento Hoodie (bendy), Tuesday, 21 April 2020 17:39 (four years ago) link
Exactly. I am sure there are rope-tension aficionados, just as there are animal skin-head aficionados. But Ringo was neither of those.

So many good details! Appropriate number of strings, p90 pickups, a bigsby tailpiece.
Then you got the instrument cable coming out of the lower horn.

it was 1967, i imagine a fair proportion of guitar players were used to seeing all kinds of psychedelic weirdness when they looked down at their fretboard at that time

More than anything, the left hand placement and "activity" is just a disaster. I don't think the rest of the guitar is that bad actually, I mean there's six tuning pegs, it looks like a Jag with a glandular problem more than anything.

for real that is a Telecaster body he's apparently trying to stab with a Strat neck - one cutaway, control plate with knobs and switch in a line. Art guy you're doing an illustration for the FUCKING FENDER catalogue, how do you get their two iconic models jumbled up?
― assert (MatthewK), Monday, 15 June 2020 12:25 (four years ago) link
haha yeah I mean if that was just some drawing in a magazine it's whatever but the fucking catalogue guy can't even get it right lol

is there a thread for particularly egregious examples of actors faking playing guitar? Drives me insane. rewatched I'm Not There fairly recently-- Christian Bale, naturally, could clearly play. Cate Blanchett, meanwhile, does this shit:

― flappy bird, Monday, 15 June 2020 19:41 (four years ago) link
I am willing - just barely - to allow that the Fender catalog illustrations were meant to be impressionistic on purpose. Otherwise they could just have used photographs. So including elements of several iconic guitar designs could have either been acceptable, or even desired.

I don't get the point of a Tele with humbuckers. Isn't the original design's distinctive single-coil sound whole point of having one, at least nowadays? That's why I own a Strat and an SG.
― Soz (Not Soz) (Vast Halo), Tuesday, 16 June 2020 11:52 (four years ago) link
* the whole point
I have a Tele with singles too, but these pickups are like glassy Fender neck pickups more than PAFs. Plus Teles are nicer to play and indestructible.
