Sure looks like one to me.
I thought they played a sitar in India.
Also it reads "steel design" not steel or pedal steel guitar design which leads me to think it is structual steel design concepts.

No........ but I think it's a Scam !!
Even the real world address looks funny.
If you didn't specifically order this product,I wouldn't send funds to any such address. I don't think you would ever receive it.

Hey Howard they can't add the Broklyn bridge as it is in Arizona. I seen it when we went out there in Febuary to see our SiS& Bro. I think it is a scam just look at the address. I just delete stuff like that.I don't even look at all that other junk that diffrent ones send me I just get rid of it.

Sorry, but I already signed the contract with Jody for the bridge. But, if you're interested in a tremendous investment, I can let you have the Empire State Building at a good discount. |

Roy,
That's ok. Won't be long till Jody knows he needs help in maintaining it. I'm working on a new steel. This will be the latest thing. will halp players with bad back problems. No set up needed! Just open the case and throw water on it.

Wow Gene,

I beg your pardon, but the Brooklyn bridge is located in Las Vegas, NV. I have seen it and walked across it. There is no water running under it; but it is there.
I think the reason that MGM Mirage got the bridge at such a cheap price is that there are so many sellers of the structure and so few buyers.
