Above: many are familiar with “The Chiquita,” the ‘original (banana shaped/coloured) travel guitar’; less well-known is The Nomad 3X, a les-paul-jr-styled, full-scale guitar with a built-in-amp; it promises to operate from AC, DC, or 12 volt power. Okay… Anyhow, for previous HONDO coverage on PS dot com, click here… oh, and you prolly aughta click here, too…

That’s it. I’m done.

There is no reason to go on. I have found it.

The all-time, ultimate, absolute pinnacle of guitar adverts.

Clearly, my work here is done. In case you missed it:

Jungle animals with red ‘Laser-eyes’? Check.

Pink Bandana tied above the elbow, to indicate that the wearer is looking to sell, rather than buy, (PCP? Ritalin? Advil Cold and Sinus?)? Check.

‘One-upping’ the classic EVH-style ‘Axe’ by adding a pointy headstock? Check.

Pop-metal androgyny? Check.

The ‘Lost Chord’? Check.

Utterly unconvincing photo-collage work that could only possibly correspond to the psychological landscape of a 12-year-old boy? Check.

‘Heavy Metal’ typeset in actual-metal? Check. Let’s see that one more time.

Thank you all for supporting this website over the past two years. I am retiring to a cottage on the Aran Island of Inis Mor. Take care.
