oh damn, how did I forget that one?

I remember it making zero sense as a child, and the same is true today.

there are some pretty off-model looking ones in Marvel's The Beatles Story comic from 1978

Five tuning keys, three tuning pegs, no pickups, no strings, three knobs.

Some kind of weird three-stringed swordfish.

Jabberjaw is set in 2076 though, that might be a very accurate depiction of what 2076 guitars will look like for all you know

swordfish guitar is cool as fuck anywayi

This thread is just reminding me that as a kid it was impossible for me to ignore how cartoon drumming was never in sync with the music. I was so bothered by it. Lazy animators.

Comic book Beatles all playing Japanese copies of their own guitars.

See, that has it's problems, but it's not the worst. It's recognizably a telecaster, whereas Keith looks like Alice Cooper from Prince of Darkness and the part of Mick Jagger is being played by a child of Dagon.

not really shit, but good!

Such a long winded journey to the obvious punchline, but well worth it.

looks like a pear that someone tried to string

Just sighted. Perfectly fine, just needs an inexpensive bridge repair.

What the actual fuck @ dinsdale's last contribution. Those look like they're made out of cardboard and colored in with crayons. And the guitars are terrible looking too.

Yeah that’s pretty bad.

not entirely clear what the drummer is aiming for with his sticks or doing with his feet either.

Drawings of drums are generally pretty bad too, and drums are usually just cylinders! You'd think that someone who studied drawing would have a basic idea about forms.

Like his bandmate Pete Townshend, John Entwistle played the 10-string guitar. Unlike Townshend, he was left-handed.

Why does this cyber-tittied horselady have a fretless bass for a right arm? Passable likeness, shit context.

Haha, I think it’s worst on here... look at the angles of the neck and headstock! It’s clear the artist drew Keith’s hands first, and then very awkwardly tried to work in the gtr.

fwiw I think that is actually Bill Wyman’s head on Keith’s body.

I thought Ron Wood myself. Also loving the shoes and "pirate legs", reminds me of how Han Solo was drawn in the original Star Wars adaptation.

uh the guitar is good i guess but the rest is ...

I've seen worse!

haha yes indeed

I knew that the po-faced absurdity of DC Comics would not fail me

I was going to give that some benefit of the doubt on the neck, until I remembered how to count

Instant classic thread

the one in the middle is actually a shovel

These drawings never get the pickups right

They also never get the gopher living in the hole

Hell yeah

The Instant Automatons - floorboard bass

It's like a sawn-off Rickenbacker 660

Wait a minute, I need a triumphant video.

I love and forgive this one, but nonetheless it must be noted that the bluegrass banjo player is inexplicably playing what looks like a tenor banjo (four strings) and that the guitarist is one-finger barring the entire sixth fret, and doing so with his finger ON the fret. He also appears to be holding his pick perpendicular to the strings and the tailpiece is apparently so close to the soundhole that his arm is blocking it entirely.

also yer banjo's a lil crooked there, friend.

love that one finger bar chord. like he's pointing at himself whilst saying:
"who's jammin that good high lonesome sound with his best bud??? THIS GUUUYYY!!!"

This should also be cross-posted to the threads for incredibly shit drawings of hats, incredibly shit drawings of banjos, and for that matter incredibly shit drawings of allegedly human people.

But mostly the hats one

Weird amounts of care taken on strange details, with glaring omissions in others. Like, five-string banjo with four strings and a strap. Six-string guitar with six strings and no strap.

Ascots, or maybe cravats, plus sweater vests, because the artist clearly can't be trusted with normal shirts or ties? Cross-hatch film instead of actual cross-hatching? Hey btw the 70s called and wants their graphics technique back.

At least the faces made of badly kneaded bread dough are accurate, so there's that.

guitarist needs to upsize his hat

Little known trivia is that the guitarist is playing The Primitives' mega-hit "Do The Ostrich" in said illustration.

(trad. arr. Glenn Branca)

thought the guitar player was going for some harmonics, but you're not gonna find them on the sixth fret my guy

he might be moving back and forth between the fifth and seventh though in a old-timey version of 'kerosene'

The good ol' high loathsome sound.

looks like a card by the twitter account that parodies hill country rednecks? the drawing seems appropriate for the humor to me.

Oh yeah, it's Little Bubby Child and on the whole definitely appropriate to the humor and deliberate within the style (to an extent).

Now I'm trying to figure out how that tremolo system would actually work in reality.
Also, appropriately for Trump, the bar is set pretty low.

incredible shits with etc

incredibly shit drawings of everything. Not entirely sure who I'm looking at here. Guessing that diagonal up the middle is Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, Mariah Carey, a young Ronald Reagan?

Wait, is that supposed to be Lol Tolhurst?

Lol Tolhurst never had a beard.

Is that Natalie Merchant up front?

Dolly's cleavage has kind of merged into one mound of flesh.

xp No, I mean in the yellow t-shirt, which I'm sure Lol Tolhurst has also never had.

Bearded guy looks like F. Murray Abraham

It is Lol, yeah, his son interviews him in the issue. And it’s Natalie M as well. Not sure of the others.

* other ambiguous faces

Chap at the back seems like a composite of all BTS members. Anyone dare to take a guess at the guy holding the shit guitar?

Has a little George Carlin vibe going on, as well.

And Robert Wyatt.

from an article about Brian May's guitar:
https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/redspecial.jpg

That looks like Paul Stanley playing Adrian Belew's fretless guitar

Why is this so difficult? Do these artists not have models to draw from?

In this case the illustration was sitting above a photo that the guitar was clearly taken from -
