Re: Worst scroll of the last century?
I think the zero fret is the one feature here that makes practical sense.I'm not sure which is harder to take, the scroll or the inlay. Maybe they're both beat out by the zero fret!

Re: Worst scroll of the last century?
How about a poster featuring all of the scrolls from this thread. A little cropping/editing would be needed, how cool would that be!

Alright, someone had to do it, lol. Here's an example of an ugly poster.

Re: Worst scroll of the last century?
You know, when you put a bunch together like that, they acquire a kind of beauty, as you see the various curves, removed from their contexts. They function on a graphic design level in this way.
I just feel a bit snubbed as my example was not included.Of course, if it's because it was TOO ugly, I'm gratified.

That's all right. A quick emergency call to my therapist and now I'm properly medicated so I can cope.

You know what, if,you squint a little at the scroll JB, it looks somewhat like bacon! Just had breakfast!

Here's one I saw in a music store yesterday. I've seen the same model at 3 different places recently.

Re: Worst scroll of the last century?
You could have someone's eye out with this one! Methinks that he started carving but didn't know when to stop. Its a "Dixon" whatever one of those is.
Re: Worst scroll of the last century?
I think if you found a super-fluffy, super-long feather boa -- you could use it as a strap and it would fill in the space where nobody would really notice the carve of the scroll! Then again, you really don't see a lot of feather boas in Bluegrass, do you?
Re: Worst scroll of the last century?
Would that be Burlegrass?Then again, you really don't see a lot of feather boas in Bluegrass, do you?
