Default I had to share this

The ad say it’s a custom burnt finish.

Next: poop finish. Just wait.

Seriously, though, the custom burnt finish model would make for a nice office guitar.

As long as the office is a meth lab.

Jeez. I know worn and pre-aged instruments are in fashion now but that think looks like it's salvaged from a tragedy. It better sound like the farts of the angel Gabriel himself or else the vendor is just having a laugh.

I can see the listing to sell it: Only used at home. Stored carefully. Non-smoker.

Or...

If it always true that where there's smoke, there's fire, wait until you see my new guitar with a sunburst finish.

Or....

Did you know you can use ordinary kitchen matches as bridge pins in a pinch? Sure you can, just be careful if pick rapidly close to the bridge.

Or.....

Are you curious about the effect of torrefied wood tops? Well I fired up the ol'fire-pit and decided to try this at home. Well, the smores came out fine.

Oh man, I bet. I think every so often about that scenario if our house (God forbid), ever torched.

Bless you, and thank you for being a firefighter. Unsung heroes imho.

Getting back to the topic on hand: I think that guitar would go great with the old burned wood bean bag furniture we use to see in the 70’s.
