ksdaddy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Didn't Martin make some kind of "negative" guitar that looked something like this? If it doesn't work out as guitar the melamine fingerboard could be used as a dinner plate. Umm.. well, maybe a long skinny bumpy dinner plate. Hey, the peas wouldn't roll anyway!

Space Pup Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've always found it interesting that he brags about his guitars being made from Linden wood because it's the same wood they use for pianos. Shouldn't they be made from the same wood they use for guitars?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Wasn't someone asking just the other day what 'Vintage' meant? Apparently, if I can paraphrase my wise old great uncle, it means it didn't work well enough for someone to wear out. "no mention of a cape included, though..." No hat either. I really like Esty's hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseguy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 to all above posters MY GUITAR HERO HAS DONE IT AGAIN An offer too good to believe which should leave everyone breathless. This not-to-be missed guitar & amp offer may be the very same that Roy Clark learned his Malagena on plus acquiring his weight gain when using the amp as a microwave oven. What a thrilling thought that even Thermionik has not envisioned. And to think that I gave up home, family and friends to search for an Excellent when I could have had this and double carpel tunnel syndrome all for $229.95 PLEASE - NO SYMPATHY CARDS - THANK YOU Moose p.s. Just a passing thought - what a wonderful inauguration gift this would make for our next President! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaresz Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just so that I understand, are you all saying that this is not a good deal? j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseguy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just so that I understand' date=' are you all saying that this is not a good deal? j/k[/quote'] I would solemnly recommend that you rush to obtain this sterling offer. In doing so,please make sure that medical insurance coverage is included for both carpel tunnel syndrome as well as acute hearing loss in the event the amp volume control goes haywire while you are trying to duplicate the playing of The Flight Of The Bumble Bee as done by the Great Masked One (ie. Esteban). Moose P.S. I also wish to forewarn you that the exquisite high treble obtainable through the included amp exactly duplicates the sound of a mouse being raped. This particular effect however is most appropriate for the more dulcet passages found in the William Tell Overture used to portray Tonto taking Silver for a joy ride.

jefleppard Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just so that I understand' date=' are you all saying that this is not a good deal? j/k[/quote'] in a word, yes. this man's company is after the ignorant, student or parent of a student's money. all the guise, capes and zorro motif, meetings and pilgrimages to seek the master (segovia) are a crock. these are walmart guitars at best. still makes me laugh that a pack of strings are consider 6 extra things.

Johnt Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I believe that as a Fellow of the Piss Poor Picking Academy of Advance Guitar Techniques , I appear to have my illusions shattered by that esteemed organisation. I have always been told that said esteban is a neo-deo entity to be held in utmost respect and awe. I now see people who I once respected appearing to be "extracting the urine" about the great man. Listen I know I am a Limey but tell me please why you attack him thus? Is it that because your stomachs are churning with the thought of your new president? Are Obama and Cain beyond your jibes and you must then turn to the master, the only man to have beaten Bee Bumble and the Stingers in a speed race to finish Flight of the Bumble Bee. I am horrified by your treachery cunkhead. After all the great man has taught you. TommyK at least you like his hat. And good old Moose ploughs a lonely furrow in support of the Leader. A genius is seldom applauded in his lifetime but there's no need to shame the man. We do have a waiting list for the Piss Poor Picking Academy of Advance Guitar Techniques Get together, we are expecting Eric, Jorma, SRV and Elvis so put your name down straight away!

RogueBrit Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 JohnT - if you can get Rev Gary Davis, Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, Charlie Christian, Lonnie Johnson and Chet Atkins to turn up in person, or even one of them, I'll definately come - even if its several thousand miles. Whatever, it wouldn't be as far as they would have to travel... Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseguy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hardiest Greetings Sir Johnt: Your respect for The Great Masked One leaves me greatly touched. Anyone who willingly and single handedly is attempting to bring guitars to the bumbed out masses (particularly after this election) should be highly honored. Your most quaint Brit expression of "Urine Extraction" decidedly hits (and fits) all the proverbial unisex G spots of those who wish to deride such a noble effort. Plowing narrow furrows that I, you and a few others have done in his behalf is the least we can do in the interest of keeping alive the indomitable spirit of The Great Masked One's preeminent contribution to late night TV guitar sales and finger tip corrective surgery. I hereby rest my case (at least for now). Moose P.S. I do pardon Cunkhead for his straying from the flock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 MESSAGE FROM CITY JAIL: times have changed. used to be a guy could sow a lonely furrow without running the risk of incarceration. i guess, hindsight 20/20, that the washroom at the bus station isnt the best place for such an endeavour. also, your "one phone call" option has been expanded to include one text message.

Plowin' a furrow don't mean what it used to. TIme was you could drop your right tire in the furrow, crank it a tad toward the furrow wall, top the plow, then play few songs on you guit tar. Now that's illegal??? I MUST get to the big city some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
