| I saw the band "Shampoo" in Stoke-on-Trent before they released the single "Trouble". They were shit, too; and the crowd let them know it. |

Blimey! If ever a guitar needed a refinish really quickly, it has to be this one. The Japanese probably don't even realise what the graffitti says. It's like you get these middle-aged well-to-do Japanese women going about with say a belt buckle proudly proclaiming the word BULLSHIT. |

Neither Nascar or Budwieser are my favorite things but I'd wager some racing nut will pull out his wallet for that "guitar" , hang it on his wall and tell everyone how junior played it only on Sunday's after winning a race ( which would be pretty infrequently from what I've read in the paper ) |

At least the NASCAR guitar is relatively tasteful compared with this next one.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this one...
Want to see more?
WARNING!
It gets worse.

Does anyone know what "UNITE TO DE" might mean? Has the last word been truncated? |

Truly tasteless! I liked:

Good job it'll be protected then...

Pardon me if I watched the wrong news programme, but I distinctly remember that 9/11 was no "accident". It would have to be Antoniotsai, the inlaid-artist who's featured here before. This time, he's topped himself (some might wish he would) with the ghastliest "tribute". I particularly dislike the "go faster" stripes heading straight into the towers; at the wrong angle if I'm being pedantic.
Said it before this year, but this is a top 3, perhaps even all the way. |
