It must be genuine 'cos it has a "cereal number".

I guess it's better than having a "surreal" number.

What about the "origional" case? It must have come from Origion, originally.

"Luthier Rob Armstrong is known for his custom guitar building. <snip> One of his more famous jobs appears to be a Kellogg's Corn Flakes box-turned-guitar for Simon Nicol (Fairport Convention)" (source: Tony Bacon, The Ultimate Guitar Book).

Edit: Darren beat me to it!

That's the guy who plays bass...

So does that mean if its a great bass, it's a cereal killer? Sounds flakey to me. They have Grape nuts. Sound sweeter with sugar. You sound like Captain Crunch. I better stop now.

I hope the controls are clean though....You wouldn't want them to go "snap-crackle-pop"

Can you play "While My Guitar Gently Wheats" on it?

What about "Corn To Be Wild"?
