Extreme accessory for your guitar

Flat357 · May 10th, 2008, 04:47 PM

Can anyone beat this as the most extreme , verging on rediculous guitar accessory ?

The vintage Fender surfboard display stand strikes the perfect balance between art form and function. Captures the nostalgia of the original Fender surf guitar and will surely make heads turn. Made with a genuine surfboard! Measures 6' 6".

My wife already gives me enough grief about all the guitars tucked away under the bed and lined up next to the night table in the bedroom.

I really don't think she'd be amused with a surfboard guitar stand in the bedroom.

I would!

that's a great accessory for folks who have more dollars than sense!

Fendrcaster · May 10th, 2008, 05:16 PM

For some of the bands I've seen, a tuner would be an extreme accessory!

I think we would all be amused by the story that followed...take one for the team.

I am going to save my money and use the ironing board.

Too bad Fender, Inc. didn't vacuum-pack a bunch of Leo's turds. They could make a mint on 'em...

Is that MIM? I wonder how much a Masterbuilt is.

Good try, but I don't think it counts if a guitar and amp come with it.

ramblinmike · May 10th, 2008, 06:49 PM

Your guitar wants to hang ten. Order today!

And that $24,500 guitar/amp/painting is [not] AWESOME! I should order two. I'll just sell a few organs. Or I could go down to the local middle school and get it done for free.

If you combine the surfboard and the "artwork," there's no way you can lose!

Stuco · May 10th, 2008, 06:55 PM

I don't know, the surfboard is pretty cool if you are very loaded. Also, it says that it's a real surfboard, they are around that price anyway. I might rather have just the board though without the mounting hardware. Here's a candidate:

A surfboard is an item of sporting equipment, not a guitar rack.

I can just imagine the marketing "suits" at Fender sipping their lattes, sitting around the eighteen foot long AAAAA curly maple boardroom table when the marketing techno-speak turns to Cool and peripheral product shortfalls - and them all getting excited about using a surfboard as a guitar rack...

...when in reality people who use surfboards as they were intended will find it as insulting as using two Fender Telecasters as a surfboard stand.

Just stick to selling musical instruments, Fender. You're losing the plot.

Who says you get to make up the rules? You didn't start this thread.

Flat357 · May 10th, 2008, 10:59 PM

It was a good find Cheesehead

Yes , I think you are winning so far

Though Stuco's is also a good find

getbent · May 10th, 2008, 11:40 PM

I dunno, the green one is pretty righteous.... if they had one with sparkles....

Flat357 · May 11th, 2008, 12:42 AM

My advice if you want to buy one and can't afford one is simple ....

Just be careful to avoid the ' loan sharks '

RickG501 · May 11th, 2008, 02:02 AM

I dunno, that's pretty cool daddy-0. Cowabunga!!!!

bowlfreshener · May 11th, 2008, 02:27 AM

You could probably find a deal on a used or old surfboard somewhere and build something similar for much less. I mean if I was endorsed by Fender, I would love to have a few of those around the house, but since I am not, the cheap $8 MF stands and the Warwick Rockstand I have will suffice...lol.

Flat357 · May 11th, 2008, 02:52 AM

I can just imagine the look on the wifes face when you brought one through the door

getbent · May 11th, 2008, 03:12 AM

I'd hide it in my surfboard collection.

Big John · May 11th, 2008, 06:44 AM

And if you can't afford a surf board ..............

Sorry to be the fashion police, but couldn't they have dug up a Surf Green Strat for that board?

a jazzmaster is better suited for a surfboard.
