Either way, the $40,000 is of course ludicrous. I’m just saying that someone who might be in the market for a guitar like the ones in the link should definitely do their homework. I’ve seen a lot of seemingly legit sites selling autographs with fancy COAs that weren’t worth the paper they were printed on.
at least the guitar had some effort put into it. it’s idiotically priced and looks like something a beach-side souvenir shop vomited on, but they at least TRIED
you can tell it’s a quality certificate of authenticity because it’s laminated

Helen, you forgot the cost of the fine-tipped marker for the clothespins. Unless of course, you were planning on just pinning the seed envelope to the flowerpot with the clothespin.
Actually, popsicle sticks work better, and you can use them in, like, a garden, as opposed to a flower pot. (plus they’re even cheaper)
I could never want that Jeff Foxworthy guitar – there are no rhinestones on it at ALL.
Is this part of his comedy routine? “You know you’re a redneck when you spent 40,000 dollars on a mosaic guitar that plays like shit but is signed by a bunch of C-list celebs”
(the only reason I know who Brooks & Dunn are is because their tour bus was parked around the corner from the convention center at a SF convention a few years ago. Mostly, I spent the time walking past asking random strangers “Who the fuck is Brooks & Dunn?”)
Is it bad that I owned a Brooks & Dunn CD?? How is it people don’t know the song, Rock My World Little Country Girl? Or My Maria??? GAWD, my parents warped me!!!!

Hey, at least the watch seller seems to know the proper meaning of “steampunk.” But the laziness and chutzpah of selling clothespins with words written on them… it renders me speechless. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a really ugly Native-American walking stick and I heard The Harlem Globetrotters are in town. I’m gonna be rich!!
If I pay $40,000 for a Jeff Foxworthy signed guitar, I want it signed with his teeth, as I smash the guitar across his face. “You might be a red-neck, if you got no teeth, Bitch.”
Hey, I’ve got a one inch square of bedsheet, documented to be authentically slept on by one of the Beatles …I’ll let it go for 20K! Bigger star power, and you save 20K!
The reason the guitar is so expensive is because of the way all the mosaic tile, grout, hot glue and marbles adds to the fabulous timbre of the instrument.
I used to listen to country music (before it turned completely into pop music) and even I think that guitar is hideous and horribly overpriced.
And what an odd collection of autographs. Just Kix Brooks and not Ronnie Dunn. A comedian. And a pop-country singer.
You can make bids on guitars with many more signatures without all the Bedazzling once a year during any country radio station’s St. Jude charity auction.
You’d save at least $39,000 and help a kid-centric charity.
If you consider that the pack of clothespins contains 48, while the “plant markers” come in a pack of five, you’re actually saving $36.01 (assuming that you own your own ballpoint pen).
i am still trying to figure out what victoriana means where they drunk and trying to spell Victorian ? or is this i whole new way to say overpriced crap ?
Wait. The Queen guitar dates from after Freddie Mercury died. You think I’m going to pay almost $1700 for a guitar signed by Paul Rodgers? I don’t care if Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon signed it-if it doesn’t have Freddie’s signature, it’s not Queen.
UGH! What gets me about the clothespin fuckery is the bald-faced LYING. Handstamped? I mean, if you’re gonna try to pass them off as “handstamped” why take such a clear close-up shot, in which we can all see they were written on with a fine-point sharpie? Not only are you an asshole, but you FAIL at lying. You’re not even a successful asshole. Congrats.
Eeeesh, I just looked at the rest of her shop, what utter crap! Lady, my plants don’t need facelifts. The realm of plantlife is mercifully free from such frippery. If only we humans could be so lucky.
If you look at the guitar, you can see that the signatures are on top of the painted bits. Did this lunatic make the guitar first, and then lug it around to have the celebrities sign it?
Seems a little fishy to me.
i’m the one who submitted the watch. i love steampunk and my boyfriend bought it for me as a christmas present. it wasn’t until after that we discovered it wasn’t handmade, it wasn’t antique, and it was grossly overpriced.
i am pleased to announce, however, that after a long, arduous e-mail campaign (which resulted in my account being temporarily suspended), i got enough people together and we got the watches (there is a whole line of them, they’re made in china) removed from the shop. this wasn’t the only shop selling them, though, so they’re still out there–don’t make the same mistake we did and buy a cheap, factory-made watch from etsy!
You’ll be pleased to know the same seller is featured in the next Compare and Save too! – HK
To be fair to the guitar guy, if you are a country music fan, you know who Brooks & Dunn are. They are like the best selling country band of all time.
That said, nobody is into just Brooks. Like #34 said, who wants a Queen guitar without Freddy Mercury?
And I can’t believe I am the only person to make this observation, but I am absolutely DYING to see the “mosaic horse head on back” of the guitar. And I mean DYING.
January 12, 2011 at 9:57 am
Yeah, but none of the guitars you picture are signed by Jeff Foxworthy, Faith Hill and some guy I never heard of.
January 12, 2011 at 10:01 am
I’m not at all convinced of the authenticity of those signatures on the “Star Struck Signatures” guitars. There are a lot of fakes out there.
I cut out all the language about COAs and guarantees when I pasted the image together, but it all seems authentic. – HK

Also, I like that pocket watch. I might just go order it.

This is my favorite type of post on Regretsy
I’m just wondering the reaction Jeff Foxworthy had when asked to sign that hideous guitar…I’d pay for a video of that!
January 12, 2011 at 10:30 am
I’m just having a hard time trying to figure out why they had Faith Hill and Jeff Foxworthy sign a guitar, seeing as NEITHER plays the instrument.
Not to mention – HOLY CRAP I’d rather have the Queen, or the Stones, or The Who – WHY would I want three goofballs??
January 12, 2011 at 10:37 am
I’ve got a tamborine signed by Rachel Ray if anyone’s interested.

You’d think that the clothesline herbalist could’ve at least added “customized to your own herbs upon request”.

How about a clock with clothes pins for hands autographed by b-listers?
January 12, 2011 at 10:47 am
If you think a mosaic guitar signed by Jeff Foxworthy appeals to anyone but you……you MIGHT be a redneck.

Two of the signatures were captured at charity events. There is NO MENTION on the listing about any money going to charity. I smell a rat.

I had a watermelon signed by Gallagher, but I ate it.

@22 Dynomoose, with 48 clothespins, I’d get writers cramp scrawling “Not Weed” on all of them.

Pssst – the mosaic guitar appears to have dropped in price by nearly 50% and can now be purchased for the low price of only $28,000! What a STEAL!!
Also, “mosaic horse head on back” can be viewed by clicking on the photo up there, which will take you to the listing. Huzzah.
