A while back I asked about a rare fender guitar with a beach scene on it and I want to show it to someone. I cannot find it here, or photobucket to save my life. Could whoever found it for me please do do again? Thanks Quasi ---

Dude, I’ve been watching “Antiques Roadshow” for the past 12 years, and the antique Fenders generally price out between $0 and $25. We go back, so I will offer $25. 😃 In reality, a lot matters and, under NO circumstances should you entertain any of my offers. ---

[This is the only other thread I found where you used the word ‘Fender’](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=576989). **Ogre** suggested you search for [Fender Moai Madness](http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22Fender%20Moai%20Madness%22&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi), and notes that only 600 were made. ---

Thank you, **Johnny** for finding it for me! I need to clarify with **dropzone** that I don’t actually have that guitar, but was posting on **Drum Forum’s “Other Instruments”** that I was thinking of getting it, but felt the novelty would wear off. I wanted to include a picture, and searched all of my posts/threads and must have skipped the one **Ogre** answered. Thanks once again! Quasi ---

That scheme would look really great on a Telecaster. ---

Or a Jaguar. Something with the surf sound. ---

Or as my wife once told me when I wanted to buy a Gretsch White Falcon: “You go on stage with _that_, you’d better damn well know how to play it!” “My wife. I think I’ll keep her.”🙂 Quasi ---

My daughter bought a bottom of the line Strat and a guy from church, a luthier, has offered to sweeten it for $35. She hasn’t yet. She must. It needs the frets filed smooth with the neck and the saddle lowered to speed up the action. I did this on my own, including whittling my own bridge pins, but this guy actually knows what he’s doing. ---

I need to clarify with **dropzone** that I don’t actually have that guitar, but was posting on **Drum Forum’s “Other Instruments”** that I was thinking of getting it, but felt the novelty would wear off. I am a miserable guitarist, but I sometimes play an actual instrument. They are drummers and beneath our contempt. They only like it because its beach scene matches their drum kits. For us, a beach scene is too ironically cool for words. Low-ball it. Drummers don’t deserve more. ---

I’m trying to figure out the seated figure. A hermit crab looks on as cigar-smoking, fedora-wearing, uke-playing monkey eyeballs a tipping rum bottle? That or some guy chomping on a cigar-smoking hamburger. ---
