A $45,000 guitar and you couldn't freakin' get someone better to play it???

WTF???!!!

At least you proved that even a GREAT guitar in the hands of an imbecile will sound like shit.

@CA5EY11 well, you know that this was one of the first videos that we ever shot. It was done two years ago and if we still has this guitar, we might be tempted to re-do the video. But tell you what - why don't you come over with your '56 Black Beauty and lets see your skills and what you can do with it !!
