Those who have been reading my articles have already figured not only that I am a metalhead but a guitar-metalhead and most important - a "play-guitar-in-some-bands" metalhead. Meaning I know my way in the guitar world after spending some 14 years playing from the lousiest axes up to big-buck ones.

Just minutes ago, as I was preparing to start my late weekend and was chattering with a colleague about the new guitars we were going to buy soon, I was remembering my first Russian guitar, a very-very ugly Formanta A3.

Since it's friggin' Saturday and outside the weather is more than perfect for a motorbike ride, I feel quite happy and relaxed... and in an extreme mood for fun and laughter - what happened was almost predictable: I ran a short search on the web and soon have had my eyes watering in a sick laughter. I had found a hell of a site with a completely horrendous display of s**t-ugly guitars from Europe, most of them - high creations form former communist countries.

I found my Formanta there and a heap of brutally and insanely shaped guitars and basses which made me think of actually buying such crap and starting a new fun-grindcore band, just for the laughter such gear will surely generate.

I won't keep you waiting any longer and stating my disclaimer that I can't and won't be held responsible for possible laughter-caused accidents you might be exposed to after (unfortunately) looking on the pics below... [drums rolling - trumpets blare] have a nice weekend! Mine is already soaked in laughter!
