[JJW]

No matter how much attention to detail there is, i still cant work out this price:

A jokes a joke but who would want to play something that looked like that

It's a faux first-world recreation of a third-world instrument.

Snake oil can?

[Huge Hands]

Much cheaper and just as useless

Now that's the wrong type of gas.

Nothing wrong with a oil-can guitar.

If I could find one I'd snap up an Afri-can model in a heartbeat.

[EssentialTension]

Oil-can guitars are very common in southern Africa (and maybe the rest of Africa for all I know). Son of ET and me were at a stall in a market in Durban. The stallholders were very proudly in possession of a Fender Stratocaster and were somewhat flummoxed to find we were not so bothered by a Strat and were more interested in their oil-can guitars, which played and sounded great.
