I apologize in advance for any ill-effects this page may have on your digestive system.

"but I don't do pointy guitars, LOL!"

Any particular reason??!! :-O

"Hey your not supposed to let little kids play with sharp objects."

But she's not running!

That red guitar has a certain Jetson's vibe about it.

EEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!

The double-neck flying V is just plain hideous!

More than hideous, dangerous too!! It should be listed as a deadly weapon, with that shape. I would worry about carrying it in a case - what if I got pulled over, had the case checked, and found myself charged with carrying a concealed weapon? Can you imagine getting poked hard or bashed with that awkward ugly thing??

BTW, Melibee, heard any news on any 360DCMs lately?

Nope, not yet.

I'll let you know when I do....

Anybody want one of these Gibsons?

I thought this was a fanciful Photoshop job until I saw the link for one on eBay for $15,000.

For that price, couldn't they at least have made it out of a real lava lamp?

This one's real?!?!

Look up "Lava Lamp Guitar" on eBay...

And you know someone is saying "Oh...I must have it!"

sowhat · Post by **sowhat** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 6:51 am

Guess i won't believe it's real until i see somebody play it...
My gosh... $15K?!

From the auction text:
"This is NOT another novelty shaped guitar! "

Oh, really?

Watch out for this character. I swapped a couple of emails with him today, and he comes across as a fruitcake and a total richardhead

I wouldn't give this guy a dime, even if he claimed he was selling the first 4000 ever made in perfect closet-queen shape for $15K.

$15K for a one-of-a-kind hunk of kitsch. Is there no limit to the folly of American consumers?

Kid, let's go bowling.
