Title: Blackie replicas..CHEAP!
Post by: Eric on November 24, 2006, 07:58:49 PM
You can but a replica of Clapton's Blackie  (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061124/music_nm/clapton_dc_3)for the low low price of $24,000.  I hope Clapton hand delivers it or something.  :roll:

Alternatively, i'm willing to risk my health and provide the service of putting cigarette burns in the headstock of any strat for the measley price of five quid a pop!


It's a deal, it's a steal, it's sale of the faarking century!!!

 :wink:

In fairness, it sounds like they put a lot of work into making those guitars just right, I wouldn't ever consider buying one though. At the end of the day, it's basically a pretty standard strat thats been given a bit of a hiding! I would spend that much(and probably a bit more) on a replica of this (http://dozin.com/jers/guitars/tiger/pic.html) though!

I've had it with The Premier League! It's got to the point now that the refs can't keep control because of the likes of c*nts like Drogba. Even the spurs have got e few of the divers trying it on. I've just watched a round up of this years Moto GP season and it says it all really about footballers. Their w**kers!

$24,000.- for a damaged black strat? How much for one that looks like new?
