 Mr. Juskiewicz, I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history. |

Bizarre.
I did however hear about the upcoming Long Weekend Lyrebird, limited to 14 guitars.
In November 2012, Gibson final finish buffer Agatha Mendoza took a long weekend to visit her granddaughter in Murfreesboro and take care of some errands. She felt recurring ennui but persevered with a happy face. Friday night she dreamt of a single illegible document she was to recite to three separate dignitaries in the Antarctic suburb of Bilbao, but her passport was only validated for one week the following summer so she dissolved her bluest shoe and was able to transmit the information through a series of theatrical oxidation and a passing notion of photosynthetic misbehavior. Sunday involved family soup exchange and a narrowly missed fender bender with friendly neighbor Garth Harris.
During that weekend 14 guitars remained on their racks half-polished till she could return to finish buffing them the following Tuesday. As a result, there may be a slight inconsistency to the hand buffing of each of these 14 rare, one-of-a-kind Gibson Firebirds. Each includes a certificate of authenticity from Agatha's granddaughter and the Jimi Hendrix estate. Finish will be limited CRT Taupe with reverse-reverse headstock, baritone mandolin scale, and a new old stock Lyre Vibrola tailpiece. Available exclusively through the Madison, WI county clerk.

I think it should come with a leather bound hand transcribed sheet (by Henry J) music volume of "I fought the law and the law won".

I think any self-identified Merkin looks at an electric guitar and thinks "my weapon" and "I win".

If I bought one, I'd need a new truss rod cover custom engraved with the word "hubris" in old english font.
