$3,598,002 Guitar

lpxxfaintxx · 10-27-2007, 07:09 PM

Yes, you read it right. This electric guitar is worth €2,500,000 (US $3,598,002) because it’s made of pure cocaine. A 30-something guy flew from Costa Rica to Fiumicino airport in Rome with a guitar (a black Squier Strat, with the label still on the scratch plate) and 10 thermos flasks in his luggage. The custom officials spotted white powder leaking out of the guitar that was tested positive for cocaine. Even the thermos flasks contained cocaine in solution. The so-called music enthusiast was carrying a total of 3 kg of pure cocaine, having a market value of more than 2.5 million Euros.

Dizzy · 10-27-2007, 07:42 PM

I like how they're just cutting it open and letting it go all over everywhere.

**PoN** · 10-27-2007, 07:50 PM

It's not a real guitar unless it can be used to play Guitar Hero...

Have you ever wondered whether you think you would be capable of smuggling something through an airport? I'd like to think I am clean cut enough not even to draw a second look but on the other hand, I haven't done anything really illegal and so have no doubt I would be nervous. So the question is, do you think you are cool enough not to draw any untoward attention?

lol tough luck...

crisis · 12-02-2007, 03:36 PM

lol that sux badd

spddrcr · 12-06-2007, 09:18 AM

finally they made a guitar marketed towards rock stars

as far as getting through an airport while carrying something, I wouldnt do it for all the money in the world. people who look cleancut are the most stopped people going thru airport security, I travel alot for work and always get stopped and questioned, it's just become part of my life now.

selotape · 12-10-2007, 11:33 PM
