When I started playing bass, I more or less dropped the guitar and was left with a reasonable collection of six strings in my tiny apartment. I used to look at them wistfully and wonder, “What am I gonna do with all these guitars?!” If only I’d been a little more creative in my thinking, I could’ve really made those babies sing for their supper…
British music gear blog Music Thing reports that a 30-ish Italian dude was nabbed in the Rome airport when the black Squier Stratocaster he was traveling with started leaking a mysterious white powder that turned out to be cocaine. About $5 million dollars worth, in fact. Add to that a shitload of heroin in a guitar at JFK and more coke in amplifiers, and it looks like mules have finally found a use for the shit knockoff Strats that clog up mall music stores everywhere.

Wonder if they’re gonna make these guys shred going through customs to make sure they can even play.

Yeah, what’s the bigger crime? Coke in your git box or playing it like Kelly Clarkson?

I once smuggled pot from Amsterdam to Italy in dildos. I might have some tips for this dude. Although that was pre 9/11. So maybe not.

I ditched a small ball of hash on the way from England to France once because I saw what I assumed to be a drug dog in customs…then someone threw a frisee for him. DOH!
