Looks like a big sticky lolly like you get at the funfair

There is a market for that though. Even Spınal Tap opened for a puppet show once.

I think it's cool looking. I'm not buying, though.

finally figured out what these remind me of <wavy transition to back when smoking was acceptable> one of our scouting projects was an ashtray made from spiral windings of colored paper tape. wind it. press into 3-D "bowl" shape. lacquer to fix the shape. give to dad. find it in the attic 30 years later.

Eeek, looks like it was designed at Willy Wonka's factory by Oompa Loompa's on LSD :shock:

Guns and guitars . . .

I . . . so totally . . . get the connection.

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

That's exactly what I was thinking. That and "this guitar hurts my eyes".

All my life I wanted to be somebody. Now I see I should have been more specific.

I've seen some laminate gun stocks that look pretty nice; however, this guitar finish is awful! I believe what the problem is for me is that the design doesn't "flow"; At the tail end of the guitar, it makes that goofy looking, sharp triangular shape & or me that knocks the whole scheme off...

Call me and we'll go shopping together!

It doesn't flow. It isn't supposed to flow! It's suppose to clash and thrash.

I have told my (recently acquired) wife that I want one for Christmas. She said she'd look around. (Whether for a Gibson dealer or an anulment, she didn't mention.)

Best,
Ande
