Too obvious, but I can't resist.

It's a Viagra-Tone EX-69 made by the Sigmund Freud Guitar Works.

Definitely post-war.

Cool guitar, nine months after you buy it little ukuleles show up in your house.

Give the truss 'rod' a tweak and you'll be 'bangin' out tunes in no time.

It looks to me like one of those guitars made by the BARF Bros. from Regurgetate, Ohio.

What's so unusual about an acoustical guitar with the bridge missing? It's obviously under construction.

You guys just don't get it;___it's those curved strings that are so unusual.

It's sad they didn't raise the strings about 3/8" so it could be played with a bar...

What, you guys didn't know Salvador Dali built guitars as a sideline?
He built several models, the Dali Lama, the Rubber Dali(several years before Ovation!),and the beginner's model, the "Hello Dali."
