Not quite a Blackstar, but...

Post by pflash4001 »

Today's my 35th birthday. My wife asked me what I wanted and I mentioned the Blackstar on eBay. Since we can't afford the Blackstar, my wife went one better. Gotta love it, huh? She used my '68 4001 as the model for this project. She couldn't get the walnut wings, so she used walnut machine heads! I just had to share this with you all!

I hope this doesn't constitute a copyright infringement, Mr. Hall!

Outrageous!

Needless to say, I have contacted John Hall personally, to warn him of this blatant abuse of his design copyright. The RIC legal team take a very dim view of so-called "Caker-Fakers".

:wink:

P.S.: Now you can really Javier cake and eat it! (ouch) :lol:
