And there is that annoying having to keep your head so close to the sound hole thing while you are playing… tedious, and hard to dance around while you shred.
They’re not meant to be used to actually play a guitar, they’re earrings. Clearly meant for any Jewish chick who wants to feel a little more rock’n'roll!
I carved a pi symbol on one of our jack-o-lanterns one Halloween (lame joke, I know). It didn’t come out so well. We had a Jewish couple taking their kids trick-or-treating think it was chaim (sorry, I think I misspelled it there), and that they’d found some other Jews in the neighborhood. We hated bursting their bubble; they’d seemed so happy.
I know oodles of lady rabbis, cantors and songleaders, some of whom play guitar. (Go Reform Judaism, go!) I’d totally get them for my synagogue’s cantor, but I’m not sure I can compete with her favourite ‘chai notes’ design: http://chainote.com
I confess: I bought these when the post first appeared, and I love them. People think they’re hilarious. (Which they are.) My mom wants to buy a pair for my brother’s fiancee, who is indeed a Jewish guitarist.

I don’t play guitar, but I can’t help but think they would be a bit clumsy to use. Wouldn’t there be a risk of the star falling off?

Maybe not, they are not glued on but are hanging from the earring hook. Which I imagine would be the biggest challenge here.
January 8, 2012 at 9:12 am
Yeah, you know, idiot me totally missed the earring bit. That’s what I get for posting when I’m sleep-deprived.
January 7, 2012 at 1:40 pm
I need to buy these for white elephant next year!
January 7, 2012 at 1:41 pm
wear them to a…rockin rabbi fest perhaps? ive got nothing.
January 7, 2012 at 3:06 pm
…or to a Black Shabbat concert
January 7, 2012 at 5:13 pm
ps –
Oi! Such a mushugana train!
January 8, 2012 at 2:08 pm
Black Shabbat is good, but they always cut the intro off of the songs. Oy! Care for some wine and sponge cake?

Aw, I really want these but the seller does not ship to the UK! (Target market also includes “Jewish groupies”)
January 7, 2012 at 1:49 pm
(By which I mean groupies who are also Jewish, not groupies for Jews. Although those do also exist.)
January 7, 2012 at 1:57 pm
I’ll admit to a bit of groupie-love for the people. I did name my son after two Jews (Mel Brooks and Moe of the Three Stooges)
January 7, 2012 at 2:06 pm
So… Melmo? When Elmo grows up and discovers his Jewish heritage?
January 7, 2012 at 3:59 pm
We did debate on calling him Maurice. After everything, though, we settled on a neutral first name.
Thanks for the imagery though—totally had a Hasidic Elmo thing going on up there.
January 7, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Maybe she named him Brooks Howard. That sounds so waspy but she knows its sleath Jewish.
January 7, 2012 at 3:44 pm
*stealth
January 7, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Actually, his middle name is Brooks and we have called him Moe ever since we found out I was pregnant.

I also have to admit to extreme love for the creators of lox on a bagel. Nom.

Hey IndieChic – Now shipping to UK! Thanks for letting me know there’s a market there!
January 7, 2012 at 1:47 pm
I hate to say it, but I know someone these’d be perfect for. Luckily, I’m too broke to consider buying them.
January 7, 2012 at 1:47 pm
I’ve always wondered – why does the Star of David have the symbol for pi inside?
Is that to celebrate your peoples’ love of baked goods?
January 7, 2012 at 2:50 pm
its the hebrew word ‘chai’ חי
it means life
January 7, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Thanks for being gentle with the Gentile!
January 7, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Thank you. I thought it was because that 1.618 didn’t fit in the start.
January 8, 2012 at 7:11 pm
1.618? The golden ratio?

Yeah, I don’t quite feel alive until I’ve had my morning cup of chai.
January 7, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Not just for women! Lenny Kravitz would totally rock a pair. L’chaim!
January 7, 2012 at 2:26 pm
As could Gene Simmons. Such a good boy!

I’m glad to see she doesn’t discriminate…

I need a rainbow set with a pirate on one side and a pentacle on the other…

I dunno…I’m rather temped by these. It’s just so..out there.
January 7, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Me too. Colorful, lightweight…and I’m sure April could get them for us wholesale.
January 7, 2012 at 6:05 pm
Matisyahu approved!

Cute!

You could shred a little for your mother sometime?

OMG. Can’t believe I’ve been featured here. Thanks for the laughs, everyone!
August 10, 2012 at 8:19 am
Actually… I quite like these. D: Too bad I’m not Jewish or even religious.
