  1. ROCK AND ROLL IS EVIL! by PigAlien · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How strange, all the guitars have characters from the dark side of the force... Where are all the good guys? Are we really supposed to believe everyone in Rock N Roll is aligned with evil?

    Oh man I can imagine Spinal Tap getting hold of some of these......

    "Hey, look man - we ordered a frigging 40 foot deathstar, not 40 inch. It looks like a glitter ball but without the glitter. And what the fuck are they? We wanted chewbacca's , not motherfucking Ewoks"

  4. Oh my... Star Wars condoms too (no joke) by JoshMKiV · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now realize this is coming from a lamer who actually paid a small pile of money for a sealed Tatooine Skiff... This is just insane.

    Have you guys seen the Star Wars condoms?
    This is no joke!!!

    Although, I would consider one of the Star Wars guitar straps for my PRS... (I know, geek...)

  5. Message from LucasFilms: by BreakWindows · · Score: 5, Funny

    We really promise that thing with N*SYNC was just a joke! Really, look, we're cool! We're rockers! Check out our rebellious Star Wars guitar line. Please check out my next movie, so my daughter can go to an upscale liberal arts college like Sarah Lawrence. Don't make us go back on our word and release Sith fishnet belly shirts and "Moons of Endor" hotpants. We'll do it. We're whores.

  6. (Han) Solos! by IainMH · · Score: 5, Funny

    Great - I can get one and play (Han) Solos at top volume! :-)

    I have been *fret*ting about this - to the point I haven't been able to *string* sentences together. I think I will go and *pick* one up... But I wont break my *neck* over it.

    (ohmygod - I have turned into Mr Atkins - my old music teacher :-p)

  7. Sour Grapes... and a contest by Chazmati · · Score: 4, Informative

    Hmm, the story wasn't good enough when I posted it last week. Well, in all fairness to the editors, it's probably because I linked to an online music store that happens to be running a contest where someone will win one of these guitars. They're retailing for $1000, so I guess that's something, although I wouldn't want to be seen playing one.

    Anyway, at the risk of giving a decent online business a vicious Slashdotting, check out the link after reading this: The contest is only open to US and Canadian residents age 18 and over, so if you're not eligible, do the site a favor and don't even bother! the contest

    I am not affiliated with Music123. I didn't enter the contest.
