That skull Volkswagen just exploded my dome-piece.

I will assume they are good people, and possibly are talented, or accomplished. But i am a seasoned pro myself, and I can`t see how this type of attitude can be good for chicago music, or promote anything good.
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.

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?
