Its good to see that very little has changed in the guitar advertising industry - take a fast playing tw@t - stick him in an ad with a fast playing ugly guitar - sell guitars to lots of kids......

I think I hate being indecisive.

I remember most of them. The first Dean Markley ad made me smile in those days. The Vester-girl doesn't look happy at all.

Unsurprisingly, my favourite guitar adds are the 60s Fender 'You Wont Part With Yours Either' - with their subtext of guitars before chicks - how things have changed:

Ask your Doctor about the advantages of Crystal Meth (as long as you're not too fond of keeping your teeth)

Is that Doctor E. Van Halen?  Cures tongue cancer, doesn't it?  Side effect: fries your brain and removes your ability to play guitar.
