Josh Pyke's Guitar Boat Floats on an Ocean of Rock
Posted by Sean Fallon at 4:15 AM on October 11, 2008
Up until now, I had never heard of Aussie indy-rocker Josh Pyke. However, sailing the seas on a giant guitar is something that tends to get people noticed. The boat is prominently featured in the video for his new single Make You Happy, and it appears to be an accurate replica of his favourite guitar. Unfortunately, it is not an actual, playable instrument—which is just as well. Jamming on this thing would require far too much effort. [Zimbo via Born Rich via DVICE]

Do you get better performance out of the motor when you tune the strings?

If the engine blows up you'll have "Smoooooke on the water.....fire in the sky."
I'd like to see someone make a wakeboard look like a guitar pick and get towed behind it.

@Kaiser-Machead's LEGO WALL-E: The EXACT reason I always turn my head away from the strings when tuning.

I read this and I STILL haven't heard of Josh Pyke... and I don't know if I want to, either.
