And you thought Blue Chip plectrums were expensive

For just over £80 per mm layer you can have this plectrum.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Hand-Made-Galaxy-Guitar-Plectrum-One-of-a-kind-work-of-art/142984467059?hash=item214a89d273:g:qSMAAOSwJ6NbzeJZ:rk:3:pf:1

Yes it really is 12mm thick. And yes it is £999.99. And yes it really is a plectrum. Although labelling it as art might be overselling it.

The mind boggles.

Why are they even wasting their time listing it?! Surely no-one is stupid enough to go for that?

Unless they thought they'd take advantage of the £1 selling fees (because they have a mighty fine chance of selling it) then I've not a clue. I'm at a loss with this one.

Does it offer crystal like cleans?

The pick of destiny 

Freebird

I've got one of these. It works great with my Harley Benton Strat, and really improves the sound. Custom Shop tone at half the price.

Ah thats cheap. 

For a mere £5000 you could just get this Platinum one.

Ticket prices will have to up can’t throw a big handful of those at my 5 adoring fans. Lol

Do you think people do these crazy price things on the off chance the sheik of some faraway land has flunkies who will buy it for his nephew who has guitars. 

I often wonder if there is a whole market for the retarded super rich who aimlessly go through life buying over priced Knick knacks.

Yes, but these people don't shop on ebay. The kind of people who spend a grand on a lamp - https://www.workstead.com/lighting-design-shop/helios

Or under the monitors of a darkened stage, never to be seen again (and obviously it was dropped halfway through your biggest solo of the night)

Hmmm, not sure why that posted twice...

If it's so tough why does it come with a lifetime repair and maintenance guarantee?

On Ebay credit from £47.17 per month for 24 months.

To be fair, I probably lose that amount in yellow Tortex every four weeks

Of course there is, there's a whole market for the retarded poverty stricken that buy 'crystal'  panthers and other assorted tat from Elizabeth Duke.

Good grief!

I keep thinking these days 'now I've seen everything'.....but evidently I haven't!

Can it be both functional and a work of art?
