My husband found this. I just _had_ to share.

Merry Christmas! And if you ever see anyone actually playing one of these things, please let me know. 😃

Wow perse that is one awesome getar! A present and future collector’s item no doubt.

Tell your hubby that I have a 71 Martin D-45 for sale. Dealers have put a price ceiling of 2500.00 on it but I think it’s worth more than that. If he knows of anyone that would like to beat that price let me know.

Ebay may be the way to go.

That guitar is a rockabilly player’s wettest dream!

Do you play it or just worship the thing?

Wow, I don’t think “gaudy” does that justice… it seems to me the equivalent of, say, a Latino street gang painting a beautiful sports car with some equally annoying mural (no offense to Latinos, street gangs, or people who like annoying murals, of course). If someone wants to sand it down and just give me the guitar, I’ll take it.

The Sistene Chapel it ain’t.

Hell, if I had it, I’d play it and be proud.

Well that’s because you lack all sense of taste, you underclass scum. 🙂

Just kidding.
