This thing looks wicked as hell. People would come up to me after a gig and be all like "That thing looks wicked as hell". I would agree, and then get all cocky as if I made it, like I was Slash. I then started wearing top hats to gigs but soon stopped after realising that I looked more like Lincoln.

 ;D

It wouldn't sell for that here, but in the Australian market, it might.
