Investment grade Fender USA STRATOCASTER's "Art Guitars"
Shari Belafonte / Kevin Bacon

Presented here is an original Fender USA Stratocaster guitar hand painted by actress Shari Belafonte. She did the abstract painting on this guitar for a HeartStrings Charity event back in 2000. Belafonte is best known for as being the daughter of Harry Belafonte, her role as "Julie Giletta" on the 80's television series "Hotel", various modeling projects , and several appearances in Playboy magazine.

HeartStrings is a charity dedicated to assisting children in overcoming adversities by expression through music and the Arts. This HeartStrings benefit was for the Kids Rock Free campaign. The opening bid on this at the auction in 2000 was $5000.00.

A total of 30 Corona USA made Stratocasters were donated by Fender and then presented by HeartStrings to various celebrities to paint and return. The custom 1-of-1 Fender Stratocasters, all hand painted by the celebrities were then auctioned at the Hollywood and Beverly Hills Hard Rock Cafe's to benefit HeartStrings; where many sold for over 10k !
The tremolo cover attached to the back of the guitar commemorates the event and this as a 1/1 guitar. Ms Belafonte signed the front portion with the date 2000.

This is a great sounding and playing professional grade instrument, and also very collectible "Art" with huge investment potential !

$4500 each / CASH IN PERSON

two observations:

- look no offence to shari belafonte but it seems a little off that her guitar is being sold for the same price as kevin bacon’s
- why would you paint the fretboard ffs

for the love of god buy this Cottage Grove man's King Crimson painted strat, he's literally been trying to unload this for like 5 years I swear

Glow in the Dark King S-Type King Crimson Electric Guitar , a brand new kit Guitar Painted with 21st Century Schizoid Man Theme. (As seen on Youtube _search for Glow in the Dark King Crimson Guitar)

WARNING - This guitar GLOWS like Crazy ALL night when you go to bed..... (I had to put it in the basement, its Glows so brightly, keeps you awake : )

This has been hand painted taking over a week with many many coats of Glow in the Dark Paint..... Guitar is pink but GLOWS GREEN, eyes are white with EXTRA Glow in the Dark paint!

Ideal for Stage or Videos, fully Playing Electric Guitar

Poor guy. Back in 2016 actually he drove downtown and handed that King Crimson guitar to the first passerby with $20 and burned rubber back home. He sleeps with a pillow over his face. But he still sees the green glow every night.

Lol, monkey’s paw of guitars.

I like Jordan Peele & all but there is no way there is anything as scary and out there in the new Twilight Zone series as the guitar describe above

Also I probably should have walked off into the sunset after my Blues Lawyer posts up thread

Also also: how is the Kevin Bacon inscription above "Rock the Garden. Bite the Apple. Waddaya Got to Loose" not the title of some record in the "Horrible 70s album titles" thread?

comin' in hot!!!!

Studio Rack Case (Formerly Owned by Green Day) - $750 (NE Minneapolis)

Hello, I am selling my empty studio rack that was owned by BillieJoe Armstrong of Green Day. I have a certificate of authenticity as seen in the pictures. This is a huge rack, I honestly am not sure how many units it is, but its perfect for any commercial or home studio who uses analogue gear. The rack case also has 4 fans on the top, one of them rattles so I have it unplugged currently, but its a very simple replacement if you wish to fix this. It does not affect the actual unit itself. The unit has 2 sides that open that are locked, I do not have the key for these two. However, the lock on the glass door also has a different lock on it that I DO have the key for. This is a great deal on a very cool unit with a whole ton of rock n roll history behind it.

Rist Tele - Les Paul Hybrid Workhorse Showhorse - $1400 (Woodbury)

Roman Rist Showhorse Workhorse Max Gibson - Fender hybrid Guitar

Handmade Telecaster - Les Paul hybrid by legendary luthier Roman Rist. Roman Rist was a student of Gil Yaron and a famous LA guitar maker on the 80s and 90s.

Guitar is Tele shaped, but the old-growth mahogany body is radiused and contoured like a Strat body, not slab-style like a Tele- this makes it very comfortable to play.

The chunky maple neck with highly-figured rosewood fretboard is finished in true oil and feels like bare wood sanded perfectly smooth. Features the Rist logo on the front and Roman Rist signature and 2009 date and serial number on the back of the headstock. Gibson 24.75” scale with 12” radius. Has new, Gotoh top-of-the-line SDS510 locking tuning pegs. Pickups are Lollar J-Street Tele bridge and Lollar Mini Humbucker neck. Callaham Tele bridge with lower lip cutout and compensated vintage-style brass saddles.

The guitar is a rock machine and very fun to play with lots of character. It’s professionally set up and plays great. Includes a hardshell case and matching black/burgundy Itallia leather strap with Schaller straplocks.

Please note the guitar has its share of nicks, bumps, swirls, checking, bruises etc… so look over pics carefully for your assessment of its condition. I’ve tried to capture all aspects of the guitar in the pics, but if there are additional pics you’d like to see, or questions you’d like to ask, please do so.

sweet rock machine bro

i imagine a gibson-scale telecaster would take a bit of getting used to

you understand, the man was a student of GIL YARON

comes complete with roman rist signature

This copy is incrediblE given the dude is supposedly trying to sell this $5K axe

2020 Knaggs Kenai - $5000 (Como Park)

2020 Kenai. I’ve had it a few weeks and it hasn’t yet spoken to me. They’re supposed to be leagues beyond PRS, but in my experience, that is not the case. There’s some “orange peel” texture in parts of the heel finish that I don’t care for; it came from the factory that way (I don’t believe PRS would’ve let a guitar out the door that way). It’s got Seymour Duncan “Candy” pups in it (Eric Steckel’s answer to the 1960 PAF. He told me it was a reverse engineer-based wind and build). I’ve got maybe 90 minutes play time here, probably less. Open to trades, but it’s less than likely. Happy to provide additional pics or videos. If I don’t sell it, I’ll likely ask the builder to amend the finish on it and hold onto it for awhile; maybe I’ll fall in love someday. In the interim, it’ll be posted to CL plus marketplace. If I do sell it, it’ll go to another high end PRS.

omg

does every major metropolis have these people ?

this guitar sucks ass

anyway gimme five grand pls

i just love that his need to feel superior and sound like a discriminating authority on luxury guitars complete overpowers his ability to just shut the fuck up and use even a smidgen of salesmanship

also if I paid $5000 for a guitar I would probably play it for more than 90 minutes before putting it up for sale

I do appreciate though that the seller feels like if he pays $5000 for a guitar then it should be doing at least 90% of the work, which I mean, he's not wrong

okay at $7K this ugly fucking thing about takes the cake

plus it's like barely different than a stock american tele, what a racket

You'd think a surf-themed monstrosity would be a Jazzmaster or Jaguar, maybe a Stratocaster

I instinctively kind of grimaced and turned away from my phone upon seeing that thing

Customized Guitar (Dreemsville)

Look at what you can do if your current guitar is not meeting your needs or expections!

This is my custom built Fender Stratocaster, it features a lightly distressed Fender Stratocaster alder body, it has been routed to accept 3 full sized humbucking pickups, fully shielded pickup and control routing, after market Fender neck with large 70's style headstock, 22 frets and a Pao Ferro fretboard, standard Fender tuners, Tele string tree, custom made neck s.s. neck plate, Fender bridge with custom made brass saddles, trem arm, Dunlop strap buttons. BTW the body and neck were made in Ensenada Mexico.

Also features a custom made aluminum pickguard loaded with Dimarzio pickups, a Norton in the bridge, a D Activator in the middle and a PAF Pro in the neck, 3 MTS mini toggles in conjunction with a standard 5 way switch gives you a mind boggling 27 different pickup switching combinations, each pickup has its own on/on/on mini toggle that allows you to switch between humbucking series/ single coil/ humbucking parallel, it also has a concentric CTS volume/tone pot with Orange drop tone cap and treble bleed circuit, Switchcraft momentary push button kill switch and 1/4" output jack.

I put this one together about 3 years ago and have had a lot of fun playing this guitar, the guitar plays great and the pickup switching options truly set this one apart from the rest, this guitar sounds great distorted however you can truly appreciate the versatility, tonal variations and nuances when playing thru a somewhat clean amp.

This guitar is not for sale, it's only meant to inspire guitar geeks, freaks and nerds!

absolutely lost it at the sexy-lady neck plate

I have a special love for people who jam 5 pickups and 17 switches into their guitar so that it can get ALL. POSSIBLE. TOANZ. and then spend their days strumming an e chord while flipping between the combinations.

Lol yeah they love coil taps

Bg - I hope this inspired you to add some sexy flair to your axe

i'd never read through this whole thread and the blues lawyer posts are just stellar

Custom Short Scale Stratocaster Guitar (Naked Oil Finish)

Here I have something incredibly hard to sell. A true labor of love that I’ve spent countless hours and dollars on.

I have become an endorsed artist and no longer able to keep using my totally custom, incredible guitar. It’s been a real battle trying to decide whether or not to keep it. I’ve given it about two years of thought and due to COVID related financial issues, I will sell this one of a kind Instrument.

I will give you ALL the details of this incredible instrument so you know exactly what you’re getting. If you have any questions or concerns email, call, message or whatever you’d like.

Also here is a link to a little pick up test video I made this week. https://youtu.be/1i5znaXG0q0

So I’ll start off by saying this instrument has been put together, wired, and fretwork done by the best Massachusetts has to offer. Jon Mouradian put the guitar together, designed the pickups, and did the wiring. Richard Stanley did the fretwork. You can look these guys up, but Jon does some of the finest work in states, he tours with famous acts as a guitar tech as well. Richard Stanley is a master guitar Luthier and literally worked on Hendrix’s guitars. He’s been around forever and is the most detail oriented person I’ve ever met. He is also the most expensive luthier I’ve ever met...

Jon’s pickups are voiced based on 54’s. Very clear, chimey, and bell like tone. Low output, so they are very clean and like pedals very much. I’ve compared them to fender custom shop 54’s, Lollars, Don Mares, and others and they stand up to/arguably beat out many of them. Of course pick ups are completely subjective, but the quality is there.

The wiring is custom, but a somewhat common layout. Rather than volume, tone, tone. The third tone knob is a blend knob. Allowing you to blend in the neck and bridge together on the front and back positions, and to turn on all three pickups In the 2 and 4 positions. So essentially you have all possible pick up combinations and the ability to blend them to one side or the other more or less to taste.

All hardware is high quality Gotoh. The body is a Warmoth. A beautiful flamed maple top on an Alder Body with a nice black binding. It is rubbed with Tung Oil to protect the wood and give it a little shine yet retaining the smooth feel and “Naked Blonde” Look as I call it. The pick guard/knobs/hardware are aged slightly. I think it looks sexy but not too beat up.

The Neck is a Warmoth and the Specs are listed below. Richard Stanley did all the fretwork, cut the nut, and aligned the bridge on the body for perfect Intonation. The short scale makes playing this thing a breeze and the naked finish on the back is soft and wonderful feeling. No stickiness at all. You could add oil to the neck if you wanted to shine/darken it to bring out the flame even more but the natural oils from your hands will do the work for you overtime.

Specs:

Style: Warhead
Construction: Gibson® Scale (24-3/4") Conversion
Orientation: Right Handed
Neck Wood: Roasted Flame Maple
Fingerboard Wood: Roasted Flame Maple
Nut Width: 1-11/16"
Back Shape: 59 roundback
Fret Size: 6150
Tuner Ream: Vintage Style (11/32")
Radius: Straight 10"
Scale: 24-3/4" Conversion
Fret #: 22
Mounting Holes: Standard 4 Bolt
GraphTech White TUSQ XL - Standard Nut
Inlays: No Inlay
Side Dots: Black Side Dots
Finish: No Finish

I will ship it in a MONO (that’s right) gig bag. Which costs about 250 new, so you have something to carry this around in to match the guitar. I want to stick to this price initially please no low ball offers. All the work and parts that went into this guitar cost an embarrassingly large amount.

oh wow CAD, thank you, that's exceptional stuff
so many great lines in that one

Toilet Seat Guitar - $50

This handmade beauty is made from quality tone wood. It nails the "brown" sound. It was not my number one but I certainly hit the stage with it a few times. In all honesty, while it plays and functions as a guitar should it is probably more of a conversation piece and wall hanger than your best gigging instrument.

FIRST YEAR FOR THE GIBSON BIRDS EYE STRAP PINS
FIRST YEAR FOR THE GIBSON CRANK TUNERS
FIRST YEAR FOR THE GIBSON FINE TUNING BRIDGE KNOBS
INCLUDES ORIGINAL GIBSON DELUXE CASE WITH INTERIOR SATIN COVER & COMBO LOCKS W/ MANUAL

1 ORIGINAL GIBSON CHROME ADJUSTABLE BRIDGE
1 DELUXE GIBSON CASE
1 HOWARD ROBERTS FUSION GUITAR SERIAL # 82630061 MADE IN USA

THIS IS A UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND GUITAR ... READ ON...

I SPECIAL ORDERED THIS HOWARD ROBERTS FUSION IN 1979 BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN AVAILABLE IN MUSIC STORES! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST JAZZ 'FUSION' F HOLE ARCH TOP HOLLOW BODY TO HAVE A SOLID ASH WOOD BEAM RUNNING DOWN THE CENTER OF THE BODY THRU THE PICKUPS AREA, GIVING THE H.R. MUCH MORE SUSTAIN AND TONE QUALITIES , WITH THE SMALLER SIZE OF A LES PAUL (SLIGHTLY LARGER) WITHOUT THE WEIGHT.

CUSTOM FEATURES: I HAD A 1981 OVATION ADAMAS - THE ELECTRONICS WENT OUT - WHEN I CONTACTED OVATION THEY SENT ME ALL THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL THE ELECTRONICS INCLUDING THE STEREO BRIDGE /TAILPIECE PICK UP. I DIDN'T NEED TO REPLACE THE P/U SO I DECIDED TO SEE IT IT WOULD FIT ON MY GIBSON.
THE OVATION P/U HAS 2 HOLES IN THE ENDS OF THE P/U ASSEMBLY. THESE LINED UP PERFECTLY WITH THE GIBSON BRIDGE PINS. SO AFTER FITTING THE P/U TO THE H.R BRIDGE AND TRYING IT OUT, I DECIDED TO DO A SEMI PERMANENT INSTALL WITH A 1/4" JACK AND A VOLUME KNOB. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING ANY PERMANENT ALTERATONS TO MY $1700 GIBSON - SO I MANAGED TO CAREFULLY INSTALL THE JACK AND VOLUME POT IN THE F HOLE SO IT COULD EASILY BE REMOVED IN THE FUTURE AND NOT EFFECT ITS VALUE. NOTE THAT I USED A MATCHING GIBSON KNOB FOR THE VOLUME POT. I COVERED THE TOP SURFACE OF THE ADAMAS P/U WITH ALUMINUM FOIL TO MAKE IT PICK UP BETTER AND MAKE IT LESS DETECTABLE. NEAT HUH?

WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LOVED THIS ELECTRIC / ACOUSTIC COMBINATION SO MUCH I SOLD THE ADAMAS AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. AT THE TIME I WAS GIGGING OUT EVERY DAY AND CARRYING 2 GUITARS ALONG WITH AS MUCH EQUIPMENT AS A 4 PIECE BAND AS A ONE MAN BAND. AT THE TIME -1982- NO ONE HAD OFFERED AN ELECTRIC/ ACOUSTIC GUITAR. YES THERE WERE ACOUSTIC / ELECTRICS LIKE MY OVATION - BUT NO ELECTRIC/ ACOUSTIC GUITARS. THIS COMBO ALLOWED ME TO CARRY ONLY ONE GUITAR TO MY GIGS.

WITH THIS COMBO YOU CAN HAVE 100% ALL ELECTRIC SOUND WITH ALL ITS VARIATIONS OF THE HUMBUCKERS ...OR YOU CAN HAVE 100% ACOUSTIC SOUND OF AN OVATION. OR YOU CAN HAVE ELECTRIC WITH A LITTLE ACOUSTIC SOUND MIXED IN OR MAINLY ACOUSTIC SOUND WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF ELECTRIC GIBSON SOUND MIXED IN. IMAGINE THE INCREDIBLE THOUSANDS OF VARIATIONS OF SOUND WITH EFFECTS THROWN IN? WHEN I PLAYED WITH OVERDRIVE FUZZ TONE WITH SOME ACOUSTIC MIXED IN (OR VICE VERSA) , MY AUDIENCE WAS AMAZED AND GUITAR PLAYERS WOULD ASK ME 'HOW DID YOU GET THAT SOUND?"

I ORDERED THIS GIBSON SPECIFICALLY WITH THE SUNBURST FINISH. I ALSO ORDERED THE 1ST YEAR "CRANK" TUNER HEADS. GIBSON FORGOT TO INSTALL THEM SO THEY SENT ME A NEW IN BOX SET. I HAVE NEVER USED THEM - AND HAVE INCLUDED THIS EXTREMELY RARE SET OF TUNER HEADS WITH THIS LISTING. I VALUE THESE AT $700 ALONE. THESE ARE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE COLLECTIBILITY FACTOR OF THIS SUPER RARE GIBSON HOWARD ROBERTS FUSION.

DO NOT CONFUSE THIS 1ST YR DOT NECK MODEL WITH THE LATER HR FUSION MODELS THAT IMO COPIED THE IBANEZ GEORGE BENSON MODEL WITH A DIFFERENT TAIL PIECE AND GOLD HARDWARE. THE IBANZEZ WAS A HOT SELLER- AND IMO GIBSON SOLD OUT TO TRY TO COMPETE WITH IBANEZ.

INCLUDED IN THE SALE ;
1 NEW IN BOX GIBSON CRANK TUNERS NEVER USED VALUED AT $700

2007 Larrivee L-09 40th Anniversary Commemorative Acoustic Guitar - $2,500

condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: Larrivee
model name / number: L-09 40th Anniversary
2007 Larrivee L-09 40th Anniversary Commemorative
Very Good to Excellent condition - 9/10

Asking $2500

This very limited and special run was released by Jean Larrivee to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of his company. Sam Ash was given the exclusive on the sale of this commemorative guitar. Only 60 made! How's that for rare?

Yes, it's an L-09, but it's so much more. Also, includes the following:
Original (6-latch!) Hard Shell Case. It's a substantial BEAST!

Special Edition "JCL" headstock inlay which has appeared on only a very few special runs.

Jean Larrivee signature inlay on 12th Fret (as far as I know this is the only run that has ever had this inlay)

Black Tuner Knobs
Flame Maple Binding

Just simply a beautiful looking, beautiful playing and beautiful sounding guitar which has "opened up" wonderfully!

I have too many guitars, and I promised my wife I'd let some of my babies go, since I rarely play anymore, so I've got all of my guitars on sale. Frankly, if this one doesn't sell, I'll rejoice! I have 3 Larrivees in my stable and this one is easily my favorite.

Run-of-the-mill Larrivee L-09's in this condition typically run $2000 to north of $2500. New run-of-the-mill Larrivee L-09's have MSRP's of $3400, and street values of $2600 new. But this 40th Anniversary edition is for the collector-player. I'm sacrificing, but it's yours for $2500! In the years I have owned this guitar, I have only seen TWO 40th Anniversary models ever offered for resale! People DO NOT let these go once they get their hands on one, and I doubt you will either.

When you're ready to jump on this, we'll MEET AT MY LOCAL POLICE STATION so we can complete the CASH ONLY transaction FACE-TO FACE. DELIVERY IS NOT AVAILABLE! NOT INTERESTED IN TRADES!

Please leave your name and phone number when you email, or I won't reply. Thanks for looking.

Looking for a Hamer Explorer that I sold to a music store in early 2002 - $123,456 (Minneapolis)

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/msg/d/minneapolis-looking-for-hamer-explorer/7262759098.htmlhaha missed that one, good stuff

make / manufacturer: Hamer
model name / number: Explorer

Hi. I’m looking for a Hamer Explorer that I sold to a musicgoround in Minneapolis around 2002. Sadly, I don’t even have a picture of the thing. But the picture I posted here is relevant — I had an artist paint my Hamer’s body with the negative colors of the American flag, which they did pretty well. The sides, back and neck stayed stock (clear coat over whatever wood was the stock wood that year). I had also installed a Seymore Duncan George Lynch Screamin’ Demon pickup in the bridge, and a Seymore Duncan ‘59 in the neck. Locking tuners were also installed. I’m pretty sure it had a hard case too.

I loved this thing when I bought it around 1999, and I planned out exactly what I was gonna do with it for a while, and then it actually took a long time to execute everything, and then I started playing drums in a band and...well, time makes fools of us all. I obviously regret selling it, but I was young and needed rent money. Stupid. The dude at musicgoround or wherever was overjoyed when I came in.

Listen, if you have this thing and you know you’ll never sell it, I understand. Contact me anyway. I want to know what it’s been up to for the last 20 years. I would absolutely love to see pictures. And hey if your friend has it, it’s ok to rat them out — I’m not gonna hassle them too hard for it. Or even if you SAW it once. I’d love to hear. I’d just love to know that it didn’t end up in a dumpster or something. Or if you do have it — maybe we could work out a trade? I got some cool shit.

Get at me.

Tom Anderson Bobcat - $2,800 (Osseo)

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/msg/d/osseo-tom-anderson-bobcat/7334026247.html

Bobcat is an Anderson guitar through and through, and as such every outrageous Anderson attribute is soundly intact and at your beck and call: Smooth and fast, Bobcat's buttery playability is just effortless to play and bend, for as far as you would like to push it. Unbelievably resonant, Bobcat rings seemingly forever, even unplugged. One chord and you will know how big, how vibrant, how full and how in tune a guitar can actually be.

Unique 3-on-a-side headstock with nearly straight string pull renders unparalleled tuning ease and stability while offering a much stronger neck to headstock union.

Encircling the entire back circumference of the body is a smooth, soft cut radius for next to body comfort. It is fantastic to hold Bobcat close. Hand selected, kiln dried mahogany means Bobcat's overall weight is less than you'd expect from this style of instrument. Just so nice to strap on and play all night long. Uniquely styled lower horn takes its styling cue from our Raven model. Rounded, shortened and deeper cut, it splays slightly outward to noticeably grant easier access to the highest regions of the fretboard and balances Bobcat’s center of gravity nicely when sitting to play. No sliding off the leg for Bobcat, just sit, plant it and play, comfortably.

Countersunk bridge, tailpiece and pickup rings look so, so, so cool and provide a more natural angle for the picking hand and wrist to contact the string plane, makes picking a more effortless motion.8 hum-free sounds from a simple and traditional 3-way selector and your choice of a two or three knob setup. With Push/Pull pots to cut power for each pickup individually. The addition of an optional VA Boost will multiply the available tonal palette to 16. Lightweight Tune-o-matic style bridge is standard and wonderful to play, but so is the optional vintage tremolo style bridge if you so desire.

Just a moment is all that will be needed to open your mind and heart, and once you hear how resonant and feel how easily Bobcat plays you will utterly lose your mind, in a good way!

Potentially interested in trades for similar value guitars, guitars plus cash, or amps. Just ask. Thanks for looking!

Well now I'm curious about how in-tune a guitar can actually be

haha i know

comes with 2 hard cases

I went to a music instrument swap in the conference room of a vaguely seedy hotel today and saw so many grey ponytails and bowling shirts that it made me think of this thread.

green snail??

the thing being absolutely hideous is the predictable punchline

Yeah, green snail is a new one for me too. Apparently refers to this:

Basically just another type of mother-of-pearl.

And insofar as its hideousness, I will have you know, sir, that my long-dead grandmother would have loved this thing.

NORDSTRAND NJ4 4 STRING VINTAGE JAZZ BASS PICKUPS - $80 (Minnetonka)

These were previously installed but weren’t to my taste.
$180 retail, yours for $80 cash.

This is a vintage style single coil pickup made with 60s era correct Heavy Formvar wire, alnico V magnets, and wound with a programmable CNC winder that simulates a vintage hand wound pattern. The combination of the HF wire in correspondence with the simulated hand wind produces the pickup's lowered resonant peak, which is the source of the hypnotizing ambrosia that is the NJ4's divine high end. Between its high and low end frequencies, this pickup produces a full-bodied sound that replicates the drive synonymous with 60s vintage tone.

Simulated hand wind, is that like a VR handjob?

haha i have no idea other than the happy ending is a hypnotizing ambrosia

someday science will know how to perfectly wrap a metal wire around a small cylindrical magnet. Until then, we'll have all this hypnotizing ambrosia.

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that "hypnotizing ambrosia" equals "farty thuds"?

holy shit check out these pictures
