How wrong can you get http://www.oki-ni.com/invt/mm0042red

Not sure what's worse; the price or the idea that some idiot without a guitar will stote (scottish word) about town using it as hangbag.  :'(

at least that has a sorta kitch point and isn't more than a MIJ jazzmaster.  The big irony is that it costs more than the sixties original it rips off...that comes (shock horror) with a guitar inside.

I don't know, guys. I bought one of these for each my guitars and I've never played better. Of course, I don't really play my guitars, I sort of just wear them and pose for pictures. I gets the ladies.

This makes me wonder how a Plaid JM or Jag would look. Or maybe a plaid pickguard.
Of course I wouldnt want one, ... or would I?

I didnt know that Blues Scaraceno was still around. I saw a guitar like the offset one shown that was made by Playboy Magazine. It had playmates of the month all over the front.

When I was going to grab it at GC, my son said if I played it he was going to leave the store.

A friend of mine is looking after that exact model at the moment. One of the ugliest things I've ever seen.
Don't you know that's sinful boy?
