Whether you have stumbled in by accident, or come of your own free will, welcome to Q-Ball’s Guitar Project,
the home of The Stripe Room. If you’ve clicked here looking for nekkid babes, financial help, or your horoscope,
this site will surely disappoint you. On the other hand, if you’re a fan, lover, enthusiast, or addict of guitars, you
have come to the right place! This website is all about the guitars located in The Stripe
Room. That’s the place I keep my guitars and other musical gear on display. Seven years ago it was a seldom-used
game room and part time storage area. Today, it’s a six string nirvana, with seventy plus (so far!) guitars and
over fifty pieces of memorabilia swimming in 1000 watts of halogen light.

Q-Ball’s Guitar Project
is my first attempt at a web site, so keep this in mind as you view the pages. I have tried to keep the humor level high,
while still giving an informative take on the topics. So, look around, peruse the Gallery, listen to some tunes, and check
out the links. Most importantly, be sure to stop at the contact page and leave some feedback.
What Were They
Thinking? I found this sweet little number while looking through Ebay's guitar listings
last month. It was listed under Charvel guitars and had an opening bid of $1000.00 (seriously!). The seller was located in
Dresden Germany and because the pictures were pretty bad I wrote asking for better ones (just so
I could bring this lovely item to you). I also asked for a technical explaination of this wet wonder. Unfortunately,
I never received a reply and the item was pulled from Ebay later that very day. I can only speculate that the good taste police broke down this guys door, beat him silly, and then castrated him. UPDATE: Since posting it here...this guitar has become a legend! In so much as it's
a monument (1 of the 7 wonders of the tacky world) to the worst taste I have EVER seen, I have decided to leave this
guitar somewhere on my website for its eternity...so get used to it!

The Lego Guitar
At last, proof positive that drugs are
good for you!
I was searching the web one day for new and thought arousing
articles, when I saw this. I was positive it had to go onto my website, but I wasn't sure where to put it. Do I label
it as a funny article, serious design study, or as proof of extraterrestrial life? Behold...The
Lego guitar...made out of 100% Lego building blocks. Some of you are saying: "Hey, those pickups, stop tailpiece, and tuners
ain't Legos, buddy". To those people I say deal with it - your too picky!
I don't know if it actually plays or not, but all the right pieces are
there. I will attempt to contact the owner/builder for more info and an update.
