These guitars above were made by Gibson but they aren't Gibson designs. This guitar was original made by Mark Nicol in 2001 for Guitar Classics store in the UK

horrific, but oddly intriguing. like a car wreck, or an old woman's vagina.

certainly looks better than a Fender Coronado.

Which lottery my friend? If the fact that guitar costs $20 000 is normal for you, yes I'm very mystic, cause for me it is one of the mysterious riddles in the the world. If the fact that guitar costs $20 000 is normall for you, you don't need lottery, do you? You can buy if you want a guitar that inlaid with diamonds and trimmed with fur and an amplifier with the ashes of Jim Marshall inside it, but a boy with the guitar that doesn't stay in tune will be brighter than you on his worst show. So to avoid such unpleasant situation request warranty from a seller that guitar(amplifier, pedal etc.) will write incredible songs and will play at least no worse than Chet Atkins, in a case of default you will be able to take your money back.

That's a bargain, amp itself costs around $20,000. If my memory serves me, it is famous brownface Carton 500, it was beloved amp of 4-year old Clapton.
