Incredibly shit drawings of guitars

Hernandez Bros grasp the fundamental trick of *not* drawing strings

well ok maybe just Jaime

suspicious number of frets on hopey’s bass

I think my favorite detail of that cover is the implication that someone stagedove while wearing heels

Spider-Gwen looks like she's about to drop her pick. Good drawing otherwise tho

That’s MJ; Gwen is seen swinging thru the window.

Mary Jane! I hope you can play fingerstyle!

She travis picks

Will the circle be unbroken?

I would love a les Paul with a neck the width of a breadstick

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

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!

Lol thanks

“Drawing shitty pictures of drums cheers me up. Whenever I feel low, I draw some new pictures of shitty drums.”

> 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.

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.

(from the Be Cool Scooby Doo episode, 'Screama Donna')

ahahah I was looking at that like 'hey looks pretty good!' then saw the cable lmfao

Beat me to it!

Shaggy & Scoob look like they've changed stimulants over the years

Daphne changed as well in that show, to be fair

From the 67 Fender catalogue. C'mon, you had *one job*.

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

Longhorn tele

ah yes, with the optional angled Strat headstock

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.

picking that high E string with his thumb while shredding some sick hammer-ons

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?

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:

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.

Same artist upthread does feature-correct but wonky renditions of 4 similar models tho

this is basically what Fender is doing with its "Parallel Universe" series

True, he or she was just a visionary
