You forgot “mother of toilet seat” (sometimes used here on TB for mother of pearl).

I got bad news... the fingerboard and strings of any guitar or bass are, in general, far nastier than a clean toilet seat.

Not to mention your phone and computer keyboard. They contain way more more nasties than your toilet seat. If that worries you, DON’T GO TO A SUPERMARKET! The shopping cart handles would freak you out totally if you could see the handles under a microscope. Then lets’s see - door handles, bannisters, steering wheels, even kitchen cutting boards are chock full - we actually have immune systems to deal with this stuff and if we didn’t have a hygeine obsession we’d no longer be killing off the good bacteria that help our immune systems and digestive systems remain strong.
Asthma and food allergies are dramatically increasing because we are killing the good ones that help us. Sorry if I’m being too real in a humour thread.

The TP roll is put on wrong.

The U.S. patent says you are absolutely correct.
By the way, nice guitar.

And lettuce not forget the TB core server... you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...

Was browsing ebay and came across this beautiful les paul. The listing's main photo features the guitar resting on what I presume to be the owners toilet. Never saw this before and I thought it was funny so enjoy!

No.

As a Guitarist, I wonder why the anniversary edition has f-holes.

Between price, the green color, the excessive hammy hardware and the F-holes.......that is where this one belongs.

Because life and everything is all about the f-holes.

Howwwwwwdy Ho Fellas! Gosh y'all wanna hear me play some blues (or maybe in this case it's "browns")?

I wonder, if the bathroom is the best backdrop he has for a picture, how disgusting the rest of his place is.

 

[packhowitzer]

If he put his guitar in the toilet, I don't want to see what he put on his guitar stand....

Being a bassist, I think the LP should be flushed. Gibson never did love the bass--Rickenbacker certainly did.

Maybe his conscience is trying to tell you something...

His bathroom looks pretty nice. I think it's just 'viral marketing'. We wouldn't be discussing it if it was on a stand on the living room.

Am uncle related how Clapton told him he and Mayall recorded a track in a public toilet in London as it had a great ambience. Maybe this is an homage.

I presume my uncle's story is correct. He knew John Mayall well enough to borrow his gear on occasion. If he'd stuck around maybe it wouldn't have been Fleetwood Mac, but it wouldn't really have worked with my uncle's last name but it could have been worse!

 

[Vanceman]

Hey! I have that exact same toilet in my music room.

 

[Joma3]

Who would ever buy that guitar now?! Ick.

Maybe his wife is making him sell it against his wishes... "Look honey, I put it up on eBay like you told me to, but nobody is buying it? What can I do?"

Yep - TP is definitely put on incorrectly.

 

[Fenderchris]

Quite right. It's got to be up-and-over or nothing.

Let’s hope he’s selling his beautiful guitar to finance the brand new “unused” house he was sending the picture from.

You're gonna wanna make sure it's a nitro-safe toilet.
