Whoever told you to "get off the pot and build a decent guitar" I'm sure didn't mean to bring part of it with you.
I can see why you didn't use the top for a cover. It would only come out to the twelth fret. |

You guys just watch...something about the configuration will cause the tone to be better than any other guitar out there. Soon, we'll all be playing them, and discussing the tonal nuances associated with vintage elementary school seats vs. the rugged sounds of the mill worker's special. Or, how 'bout the clean sound of a post-modern hospital seat? Or the warm brown sound of a honky-tonk...er...nevermind...

George, I have to admit, you need to get out and go to town a little more often--worst case of cabin fever I've seen, and winter ain't even started yet! Most all joking aside, that IS the best "stool guitar" I've ever seen---or is it a crap-steel? Well anyways, I bet it resonates and swirls with tone---I bet the lows are really acoustic, huh?? oh yeah, is the tablature roll holder optional?? Sorry for all the "groaners"!  |

George, I got here too late - almost all the good doodoo puns have been taken . .
Are you trying to eliminate the competition?
Just don't turn it up too loud - it could be deaf-icating. 
If I had to rate it on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd say you're an 8 . .
<marquee>Butt seriously folks - very innovative!</marquee>

George, I told you moving to Oklahoma would drive you crazy!
When I said "You need to get out of the house,"
I didn't say "Get to the Out House"
I always knew you could make just about anything and it would sound good. |

Seeing this "guitar" sure brings back fond memories of the late NORM ENGLISH who was "the Victor Borge of the Steel Guitar" . Those of us who attended the Winchester Conventions some 20 years ago will fondly recall the Toilet Seat guitars and other 'mad' inventions which Norm made and demonstrated to everyone's delight !  |
