Maybe that's a ladder for the gremlins/garden gnomes/other little folk who inhabit this guy's head!

Conclusive proof that an absolutely free society has to make allowances for (and learn to tolerate) stupidity...

Wait a minnit--I forgot to add "bad taste" to the topic heading!

BTW... $6K... the most expensive b*** i've ever seen! 8-)

LOL! And Ewwwwwwwwwww! And Aaaaaaaack, too!

That one is right up there with the "buttglo" guitar from another thread....

Truly awful. Imagine somebody PLAYING that thing in public and keeping a straight face. Kind of disturbing.....

Well, there's a picture of some guy with a "body" guitar at the bottom of the page, Melissa... and he looks happy enough...
Sadistic, truly... a wooden "lady" must have passed through a painful surgery...

Tasteless, ugly, crass, gross, etc.

The guy is happy in the same testosterone-soaked way that you see when his team wins the Super Bowl and he borrows that glory to try to convince himself that that isn't a beer gut that he sees in the mirror, it's muscle, and it was he who spiked that ball.

Pathetic.

And whoever sculpted that attempt at a torso had little familiarity with feminine shapes. It's more like a beanbag with boobies--which were the focus of the whole exercise, anyway.

"Just a minnit, Arnetta. I gotta touch up the pink paint on mah, er, ax handle. You know, the one I use for mah sculptin', when the chain saw runs outta gas?"

That one might actually be improved if you gave it to mpv to renovate!
It couldn't get MUCH worse.

"This is definately one of a kind, and no more "Nude" instruments will be built by Stoneman Guitars!"

Amen to that is all I can say. $6000.00 for that load of rubbish? BTW he should learn to use spell check. LOL

Definately!

His claim that this is the last one he'll build is one of the most positive, uplifting bits of news I've heard in a long time...if it turns out to be true, that is.

'Stoneman', indeed...the only thing about this whole deal that seems like a hemp-induced hallucination is that $6,000 price tag...
