I don't think hemp could do that much damage, must have been 'shrooms!
I like green on guitars (sometimes). That GreenGlo 4001 (the one that looked radioactive) looked kind of interesting! Almost nice! Maybe!?!
Seriously, Trans Green IS nice!

Oops... sorry... forgot Juliana might like them...

Juliana did start out drooling over those, but I wanted her to get something she could play.

Then she saw a pink Daisy Rock, but the Squier was sooo much nicer, so I got the elves to do a color change for her.

She's happy. But her Rick stays FG.

"Polish sublime handcrafted artistry."

Yep. That's what it says.

Most Honorable.

Eh... looks like the seller's English is even worse than mine?

BTW, in my childhood (i was about 5 or 6) i owned a... mmmm... "guitar" similar to the second one... but it wasn't that cheap indeed...

"you can also present your good friend as a gift"
Not really much of a friend, then, is he?

Speakin' of smart guitars,

Heeeere's MVP's Latest!

The guys on gretschpages still revere this nut, although last time I griped at him to at least learn about symmetry, or put his name on the headstock rightside up, or do something to give an indication that he's accepting suggestions, I got a number of letters of agreement.

He just finished this one. Note the handbuilt tailpiece, painted with real gold paint right out of a spray can, the wrought iron vibrato assembly, the three gold-painted drywall screws holding on the headstock.

Lack of symmetry, HUGE f-holes, $500.00 worth of gold Gretsch hardware, weird nut with a black sleeve on the low "E", Fender string retainers--4 of 'em, with the left hand one hanging off and retaining only one string, crutch tip end on the vibrato bar, jeez, man, I could go on and on.

And...he STILL puts his name on upside-down. This guy is as dumb as a bag o' nails. But WHY do these lovers of beautiful hollowbodies cheer him on? WHY?

Shoot, his pictures broke the computer or sumthin', let me try again here:

Is this guy doing this to wind people up, he can't genuinely think his toil is worth the effort surely! This one is really awful!!!!!

No wonder you thought it broke your computer Paul.
