Some of them look pretty nice and there were many many more.

So now I'm intrigued and start digging.
Turns out it's a company in Japan. :(

If you have an old hollow body that doesn't cut it any more, make it a lamp.

Black Strat...

Not really a guitar, kind of a teenager, but I like the inlays.

Another bass...

That's hideous

I thought it was unique, but wouldn't want anyone to see me holding it.

this

There's always wood...

not hideous.


I like it. looks old

The top binding is, well, hideous is the word that comes to mind...

I bet that one sounds on the tinny, brittle side.

Gilmour's Black Strat...

A bargain

It's not exactly like having a painting that has changed art; this is not the art itself, this is the paintbrush. But it's a cultural artifact that will remain important well beyond our lives, possibly for hundreds of years. I'ma say, worth it.

I wonder if it will ever be played again, if the strings will ever be tight again?

Why wouldn't you play it? It's built to be played, after all. Like the cars in Jay Leno's garage, priceless, but rolling stock not just inanimate lumps.
