October 30, 2007: Cocaine guitar

[Undertoad]

via a blog called Audioporncentral;

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 scratchplate) and 10 thermos flasks in his luggage. The customs official noticed white powder leaking out of the guitar which tested positive for cocaine. Cocaine in solution was also found in the thermos flasks - a total of 2.5m Euros worth.

What strikes me is how much trouble they went to, to create this thing, only to have it fail because it leaked. The incompetence! Always use a qualified guitar technician for major work.
