You got that right. I wouldn`t give him 85 cents for that reptile. You try and play that and it might start doing a death roll on ya.

seriously, it looks like a pocket book with a neck and pickups.
why would someone build this? why would someone buy and play this
ass-ugly thing?
this will end up in a damn tone debate and soon you will see folks with deer,
dog, and opossum hides stretched over their guitars and PETTA will be doing
their thing at your local guitar center.
then your hollywood stars will start their bitchin and the designer people will
get involved and then we will have synthetic animal skins made and stretched
over guitars as a "green alternative" to the new guitar finishes. this will last about a yr
then these guitars will be in every pawnshop in town and all over ebay because nobody will want them.so a couple decades will pass and then somebody who a few people will respect, will be seen on stage or in some video with one of the old "taxidermy strats"
and then folks will be trying to dig up their old piles of shiot and slappin them up all over ebay trying to make a fast buck.

It would be cooler if it wasn't actual crocodile skin and they did away with all the bling. I've seen snakeskin paint jobs on guitars so I trust they can do crocskin too ^^

At least it's not as ridiculous as the 57-58 partscaster that a guy wanted a million bucks for on the Strat Forum a while back or the Guitar Broker in Florida who wanted over $90,000 for a '61 Sonic Blue Strat.

Love the red rivets on the chrome side strips. Positively Teisco-ish.
But no fancy fingerboard inlays? Did they run out of money?
