Bollox. Total bollox. It was cheaper just to buy the guitar heads.

What does ABNOXIOUS mean? |

It's the smell of sweaty stomach muscles after a particularly long gig |

He had three offers (none of them to stick his plank in the appropriate orifice), the highest being $25. True to his word, he has relisted at $88,000

I've never heard of W Starrett and there is nothing on the web. One of those "Hey, this looks old, I can charge a fortune for it!" idiots. |

The seller of this home-made ZZ Top car guitar is asking a staggering 500 Euros for it! (That's £396 or $708).
As if that wasn't bad enough for what looks like a badly made pile of crap, it's not even a functioning guitar! It's just a "decorative item".
Interesting use of a Telecaster bridge, don't you think? |

Mike, I hope you include this one in the fast-approaching Hallowe'en candidates list. Not wanting to sound like a crossword-solving, smug bore but I figured "decorative item" would rearrange itself nicely.
"decorative item" i.e., created vomit |

Good use of the unwanted extra 'I' and 'E' , did you spend long on it? |
