Tenebrous

That is quite nice, even if the money asked is comical.

Sesh

It's a shame their ebay add selling the same guitar for £3700 came up as a sponsored link for me. And to think I had the cash in my hand. 

jellybelly

I wonder if they'd accept Clapton's Blackie or Cobain's Jaguar in a trade? Cash their way. 

SteveRobinson

I thought it was going to be the refinished Les Paul Studio at £1400

Sassafras

Futuramas are some of the shittest guitars I've played.

merlin

I must be one of the four thousand holes. 

TuffNut

Futurama was a trade name used by Selmer in the 60s for their range of guitars, they were made overseas for Selmer. In the early 80s you couldn't give those crappy things away! You could buy them in pawn shops for £25. Even if I could buy it now there would be other better guitars in same price range. Even £300 is too much for that. Most of those early Japanese/Italian guitars, the lower end were ply, some of them had no adjustable truss rod, and the frets were poor . Insert famous player here « probably had one and they "might" be collectable but they are no way a player's guitar by any stretch!

rossi

He is from that place where they have four thousand holes, although the holes  are rather small.

Wasn't this on eBay for like 20k a few weeks back ?

jonnyburgo

He's just offered it to me for for£300. I don't want it so feel free to jump in! (Orderly queue etc...)

HAL9000

I remember a mate having one when I was at school. I think I may have owned one at one point but don't honestly remember. What I do remember is that it was weapons grade awful.

mikeyrob73

And it’s down to £1500

Fishboy7

I've seen it listed at £1,500, £3,700, £75,000 and £200,000

Probably worth less than £100 on a good day

Impossible to fathom what the thought process was behind this
