Scream a waste of money

[Cliff Edge]

Why would you buy this? It’s not as if it’s going to be unique, there will be hundreds of them in kids bedrooms. 
Is any serious musician going to fetch up to a gig with one of these?

No, but collectors of a certain age will buy one to hang on a wall.

Since music itself has become worthless, bands are exploring other revenue generating opportunities. Tat, for want of a better word, sells. That's quite tasteful and actually useful in comparison with much of the other crap out there.

Would it look worse or be less value than this:

Note chosen at random I know nothing of the artist nor do I have an opinion on the merit or value of their work.

I actually like that. Is it worth the asking price? Not to me, it would have to be substantially cheaper before I considered buying it.  The artist  has to earn a living by selling the product and is free to set the price.

Damn. Just when you thought Fenders couldn't get any uglier.

I’m not knocking it or the cash just comparing guitars as art to a piece of art. Personally I wouldn’t pay for either the primal scream guitar or the painting but If I had just spent a million quid on a loft apartment either may appeal.

Collectors will buy it and that's who it's aimed at.

^^This. I suspect Fender themselves would be quite astonished if a single one of those ever ends up at a gig being played to an audience.

Jeez, not even as if that record is particularly associated with Strats.

I bought a Peavey Xmen guitar....as noted collectors will buy.

I'd much rather spend it on the art than the guitar, even if I didn't like the art.  At the end of the day, the artist is working by hand, but Fender are applying a factory finish.  So if I had to choose...
