surely this Austrian ebayer has his head in the Alps. i think he has been overdosing on the Hussar.

A very nice bit of Dan Reeves' work, at the sort of price that'll buy you a good Hiwatt and leave plenty for something else. This seller has gone for the "it failed to make reserve at £320 so I'll list it for stupid money" tactic:

This ghastly hackeroo (a real contender for the "ugly guitar" thread by a mile) is listed as 10p with free shipping. Sounds reasonable, except for the "reserve not met":

Because I've seen this firewood listed twice before. First as a £15 starter with £25 shipping,

Then as a (bizarrely) £38.38 item with free shipping:

Neither of which attracted a sniff of a bid. I imagine this reserve is some £35+, which begs the question... why don't some people get the message?

I can't look at those links without my browser crashing. It might be something to do with the ActiveX plug-in. Could someone just post a pic of the guitar so I could see this abomination?

The modification is so subtle you would hardly notice anything has changed, you need to look very close to spot it..
