Not sure... how much for a pack of 60-grit?

I wonder how "Smoke on the Water" would sound on this baby...

The seller DOES accept US Postal Money Orders, though, thank Bush...

That's the sort of thing MVP would try to create...... badly, of course!!

$250,000. Wow! I'll take two at that price.

That guy's nuts.

I was just thinking that, Howard. $250K for what looks like an MVP special. Not in my lifetime and never in my house. To quote Melibee, EEEEWWWW!

This thing is really ugly.

Hey Paul...

Put aside the tacky look of the guitar.

On the technical installation, how hard is it to do that type of inlay work?

Is that good work?

The only question is... why does the add say it's DEAD?!

Worth? No bids = worth nothing!
That's some wild inlay work! A bit over the top.

Out of all the millions of people on Ebay, all you need is one bid from someone who has too much money to know what to do with.

One person's rubbish (garbage) is another person's gold.

But that's not the kind of workmanship that turns my crank.

Very ummmmmmm..... interesting. I don't like the body style, but the figured wood looks really nice, and the inlays are kind of cool, if a bit garish.... The quality is certainly better than anything MVP ever made, but the price is just as ridiculous.

The back's kinda nice.
