I do make judgements about guitars based on how they look. I don't care how great a Harmony-necked mystery-pickup film-reel "guitar" plays and sounds if it looks totally and completely stupid. If you want to look like a clown or crave even more attention than the average rock musician, fine. Go play a toilet seat guitar. I won't listen to you, and you can have your weirdo fans make all sorts of sandwiches in honour of your fantastic talent of playing the chopping-block and baby-doll-head Awesome Custom Electric Guitar.
wow, i am fascinated by your response. I made those comments about myself in jest, and to add some humor to this morbidly sad and dry thread. It`s amazing to hear you comment on me, my music, and fans when you don`t know me, what kind of music I make, or anything except for a couple of sentences. Don`t worry, hommie, I`m a nobody, and I don`t even make rock music. Seems like you missed my point. Otherwise, I certainly respect anyone`s (even yours) opinion. It is funny how easy it is to talk shit on the net. I`m sure everyone would be more polite if we were all in the same room (lest someone catch an uppercut)
And, to answer steve`s question: Today I am acting like an asshole with just a touch of neurotic jerk, and i`m a little scared, so I`m serving it with a side of techno-snobery. Otherwise, your point is taken. It is interesting to watch everyone get all worked up and react so strongly.

43Woah, was that previous post not just posted under Fred's username, deleted and then re-posted as you see now under the username of G-thagoras?

44I guess you aren't perceptive enough to see the actually "funny" humour in my post.
Go have a grilled cheese and a bag of Funyuns.

You just posted this under your real name, deleted it, then posted it again under your fake-o identity. "Honest"

How much would it cost to get a cock-and-balls guitar shipped to the UK?
When you say "cock-and-balls", do you mean one which has been jizzed on, or one which actually recreates a penis?

Wouldn't that be a "Meat and Two Veg" guitar?

One that is actually made out of discarded cock-and-balls. Although, if Fred could get some sweet sounds out of a cock-and-balls acoustically sounded shape, all the better.
