It's okay, Randy...I believe he's a 'nasty Australian', too...(us Yanks better stay out of it though)...

Cheers, blokes! Dance one with Matilda for me...

Good one, Gerry. Hahahahaha!! Yes, an unfortunate episode indeed...........

I've never danced with a sheep, Dane. Could be a hoot.... "Woold ewe care for a dance, my dear? They're doing the lamb-ada!"

Apologies to all who felt like throwing up when they saw the collection. To those who laughed, I with you!!

There's never a right or wrong, Sheena. There's definitely something right about seeing and talking about Mousie's wonderful creations.

Give me Mousie over mvpgretsch any day!!

HERE'S a trio of NEW UGLIES!

The first one was up on sale on the 'Bay last week...at a reserve of $12K, as I recall.

Looks like a cross between the Strawberry Alarm Clock monstrosities and the butt end of a slot machine...

It's a guitar synthesizer with a separate mini pushbutton for each fret and string position (total of 126 buttons) and slide pots for all the functions.

Just because something's one of a kind, doesn't mean it's worth five figures. This one should get $126 for the switches, $12.00 for the pots and $12.00 for the wood and plexi. That's $150.00.

Ummm, on second thought, I don't think so.

Next is a guitar that needs no introduction, except at the scrapyard. Flying V, single coil Fender, squishy veneer, yadda yadda yadda. Who would buy such a deviation?

Finally, one of the Chinese ripoffs that are currently peppering eBay's "Miscellaneous Electric Guitar" listings, at .99 opening bids and with tortured Chinglish descriptions.

Any doubt as to the brand? Or the color?

Love the description of the parts.....

Hmmmm...nine tuning heads, one (wrong) pickup...

I'll bet the kid is long gone, not to return for yonks.

The best part:

"See my other guitar auctions".

Aplogies again to those who may be offended. Classic "chunder" material......

Wait.... there's more!

And I'm not much of a fan of the Parker Fly, either.....
