Just because you can doesn’t always mean you should

Fender guitars custom shop have produced a telecaster and matching amp based on ‘pinball wizard’

Unfortunately based on seems to mean cutting up a couple of wizard pins and building them into a guitar body etc

Yours for only $80,000

Fender says it will appeal to movie fans, pinball fans and Americana fans alike. I reckon they might have mixed up appeal with offend but it does show what they can do...

Yeah I saw this.

Actually quite like the thought gone into it. The pop bumper volume control, the plunger.

80k is just lala money though. Utterly mental.

Hopefully the Wizard was a basket case machine beyond saving. But I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.[emoji16]

Yeah I’m not really offended by it, I actually think it’s quite cool. Really like the amp even though there is most of a pin cab in it

Also the work that has gone in to it is very impressive, not 80000 impressive but still impressive

Telecasters and pinball can go together, but I prefer my way

Not sure which is the biggest loser here, the pinball machine or the resulting guitar. As a player of both pinball and telecaster my bet is on the guitar.
Anyone playing that tele with those flippers attached is going to look a complete c¥nt
