Also, I think it's mega-cute that Jemaine drew an arrow pointing to himself. ;<br />D


And the Epiphone has Bret's trademark winged guitar. ;<br />D :-* ;<br />D

I saw the guitar auction a few days ago and have hidden my credit cards ever since... ;

(If only I hadn't just bought a new bass guitar... ;<br />D )

I would so love this... I'll be interested to see how much it does go for...

Also, the arrow = ;<br />D ;<br />D ;<br />D ;<br />D

I may throw a bid in there. This is the guitar I choose when I play Guitar Hero.

I couldn't actually use this if I win because, well I don't play guitar. Also, I'm a lefty.

I bet they will... Smile Don't worry though, if no-one bids on it at all, I will make sure it gets a good home. ;<br />D ;<br />D ;<br />D Even with the more unfavourable exchange rate!

Huh, I wish! Smile It'll probably get some bids...

Also, lots of left-handed people play guitars right-handed... Are you sure you couldn't learn to play right-handed to have this lovely guitar? ;
) ;<br />D Or are you very left-hand dominant?

*hides cards even further away from the computer* ;<br />D

Haha!! Yeah, I've tried to play guitar as a righty and it didn't work. It's like I have no control over my right fingers.

I think I know about 4 chords. That doesn't really count for actually knowing how to play.

Everyone is like that when they start... Smile

You have an advantage being a lefty if you play right handed - you should (eventually) have a more accurate fretting hand than us righties... ;<br />D Rather than using your dominant hand for more boring picking and strumming... ;<br />D

Also I [image] that t-shirt so much... ;<br />D

I play banjo, and it makes me want to be ambidextrous. Banjo requires equal attention to both hands, at all times.

left = frets

right = rolls (you know: doyng ding bing doynga doyng boynga doyng doyng)


I actually have a surprisingly capable left hand, but there's still a huge difference between my left and right. Sad

I was also going to say that I think it's mega-cute... like we don't know!! <img src=" title="Razz" border="0"/>

ADD: I've tried playing guitar... I had my old roommate try to teach me but he ended up yelling at my pinkies and calling them retarded. Sad

That guitar would be nice just as a decoration in my living room. Smile

retarded pinkies"
when I'm next teaching someone the guitar... ;<br />D ;<br />D ;<br />D

Does anyone remember them having a white Les Paul on stage?

*Edited to add that I don't ever think I've seen them with an electric guitar on stage. ???

Still no bids...

*bites nails and wonders what to do - is my ebay UK stuff valid in the US?*

Surely someone is going to bid on it??? (even if not one of us)...

I bet people are waiting until it gets closer to the end... so that the price doesn't go insanely high... I know that happens sometimes on ebay when I've been watching an item.. nothing until the last day then it's a bidding war.

I do that. When i want something, I watch it until the last 30 seconds and then I put in a ludicrously high bid. Other bidders don't have time to outbid me, and I win every single time. 8-)

Someone got a deal there - won it at the start bid ($650).

I was watching and was so tempted to see if my UK ebay ID would work... Smile
