Blimey. I like Jim Reed guitars; I own one. Not this one, though:

| I'd be too scared perforating myself to rock out on that! I'd have to put some padding on those corners - especially the top of the arrow head... |

That JR is f*kin terrible.
We all know that shark guitars are a big thing in the world of worst finishes, or should I say worst FINish. Hah! A shark eat shark race amongst luthiers to build the dodgiest jaws look-a-like and which Chinese eBay scammer can "sell" it the quickest.
Here's a new one to add to the continuing saga.

CHERISH THE CHARMING SONNY!
Only GBP: 188.00 shipping. Bargain. |

Mike, how can I explain this? Your "shark" guitar looks slightly more like a shark than the one I posted; yet it looks even cheesier. I suppose the answer is, if you have a bad idea; the better executed it is, the worse it looks.
I've understood the point (dodgy pun alert  ) of that Jim Reed. Y'know that "pained" expression you get from Motley Crue types shoving the axe into their crotch? Well, this one would certainly make the facial expression a cinch to do. |

 Beats shoving the Brian Wilson face guitar into your nether regions. God Only Knows what you'd catch.
Worst pun thread coming soon to a forum near you. |

That finish just says "Lee UK" to me. Go on, buy it, Lee - we'll all chip in for the hardware upgrades
EDIT: BTW, just noticed your new blurb, Tim. I'm cut-up that you didn't like any of my suggns, but the purple fret-marker does look nice. Incidentally, what would a 1000+ poster have got, Mike? I'm intrigued; do they step up from "Lead virtuoso" to "now qualified to play bass"?
Just wondering. |

You may not actually believe this but my creative juices don't reach as far as 1000. LV was the highest Jason and I could think of. Anyone past 500 is welcome to their own custom one I think anyways. Thus I keep an eye on who reaches it.
And your right, it does scream Lee (a rather girly scream too). |
