Jeez John you could have warned us.

I've been having trouble with my eyes (or maybe its my my glasses) lately and I thought for a minute that something had gone terribly wrong LOL

That must be a slanted fret model. I have never seen one before. Are they hard to play?

Those frets aren't slanted. It must be your eyes after all!

That was the very limited version that came with a special edition of the game Twister.

Paul,

Nah, it's a Holden Commodore SS - the Aussie equivalent of a GM Pontiac with a 350 Chev under the hood.
