Knock-Offs, Rip-Offs, and Just Plain UGLY!

This was posted awhile back Sheena, but thanks for the reminder...

On another note, I've been avoiding gretschpages.com, after I was repeatedly flamed for taking mvp to task about his dreadful stuff. I haven't been kicked off the site (yet), but it does seem like they don't really have any opinion about his posting. Members there think his stuff is "kool" and encourage him to keep on "creating" His photobucket album has sprouted pics of a new Fender Tele with gold sparkle around the edges. At least it'll play, because the neck was made by Fender, not mvp. He actually posted a picture of a postcard he got from Brian Setzer, with his (mvp's) street address on display prominently for all to see. Nutz. Maybe I'll visit him next time I'm in LA.

Aitch, you up for it?

Some designs stink more than others.

Oops... sorry Paul, haven't seen it before in fact...
Hmmm... the Poorman already has some followers, BTW...

BUT! a) the "designer" is only 8 years old; b) no guitar suffered in fact...
Paul, Aitch: BEAT HIM UP!!!!!!!!!

I'm up to it, Paul. I've even got the black suit and dark glasses. Where can we get some fake CIA ids?

I contemplated posting in mvp's thread, both to agree with you and encourage mvp to take more time and put more thought into his work. I think "Tim' pretty much hit the nail on the head, so I demurred.

Peter: it's polymer clay, right, albeit actually called Junior, made in St Petersburg.
Paul: she's a girl - dontcha see the flowers on the neck?

But i wouldn't tell her your opinion - i'm actually afraid she might want to do "it" with my guitar...

Aitch: i'm with you ("spiritually")!

Sheena, I've got an 8-yo daughter, too.

Here she is at the Rickenbacker factory:

Aitch: We're the Men In Black. Wipe that grin off yer face! We're gonna be the Intimidators.

Tim is the guy who originally came up with the idea for the d.v. project. He's my long-lost triplet brother.

The third of us is in the San Diego Zoo, I understand.

I'm the better looking of the two freemen, of course.

Cool! She's so experienced at her age!
Aye... kids are SO lovely...

...but they grow...

Wow. Yes. But they all leave, sadly, and stop being kids.

I'm glad that I never stopped!

BTW, Mousie's currently working on another "guitar" (instead of goin' to bed

Is that a Lemmy I see on that rack of unfinish Ricks?!

Your daughter now has all the education she needs, Paul. I hope she realised she was in "daddy's heaven"'!

I was wondering whether I should visit the SD zoo - now we both have a reason.....
