Check out this guitar. I would love to have being the Star Wars geek that I am, but I would never pay that much for it.

A Xwing would have given much better high fret access :lol:

Cool guitar.

I was just thinking how an X Wing would look as a guitar!

Actually I really like the flight case with Star Wars on the side, awesome 8)

The Vader one is all kinds of special

The Xwing would be great

Elongate that nose a bit and use is as the fretboard.

Tomorrow the NickMobile is getting a facelift...

Now GAS is kicking into high gear! My old obsession was collecting Star Wars and now its guitars. I can fulfill two desires at once!

That is tripped out for sure yodacaster, and being a Star Wars mini-geek I thought I could hear Vader singing "You Are So Beautiful" in the background while looking at this thread. :lol:

This is not legal, though, as isn't this trademark infringement? I am guessing that ol' Mr. Lucas never licensed this item nor is (not like he needs it) being
financially compensated for it.

I'd say fernandes would have gotten the rights, they're a pretty big company.

Lets face a fact here. George Lucas is only interested in the percentage he gets off toys. Artistic integrity went out the window after The Empire Strikes Back.
I'm sure Fernandes will have paid him his percentage. They only built 250 of each design apparently.

That car, well who knows? You could argue that it doesn't look that much like a Xwing couldn't you? Dunno how you'd get round R2D2 in the boot and the Rebel Alliance emblems though.

Why no Boba Fett Strat? They could have had him in rifle holding pose with his EE3 rifle laid into the fretboard.

Baddest

On a side note.

How do folks here feel about Fett's return from the Sarlaac for the Yuuzhan Vong War books.

Well I haven't started on the books yet. I'm busy immersed in Stephen Donaldson's fine works. But I have to say I was less than pleased with the way he found his way into the mighty Sarlaac in the first place. :?

Oh, and Mrs Bighair said she likes the "Dalek" on the boot of your car.

She lost 50 points for that.
