elegant in it’s simplicity. WIN! it was made from the fruit of those striped trees.
to be honest, i want this
thats an awesome idea! i cant wait to steal one of those cones now!
I like this, I go for win on this. lol @ treborx, stripe tree fruit!
I am so going to try this. A regular stand won’t accommodate the fat square neck on my Chandler steel guitar.
braggart
Aww yeah, I be pickin’, they be hatin’
It’s my C6th that they all be jealous of.
Try an On Stage stand – no neck support but real solid any way.
Bonus for there I fixed it, this guitar is made of mismatched companies/parts
No it’s not. This is an Epiphone Strat with a truss-rod plate that says Gibson… weird but true. I have this exact guitar too.
oh for cryin in a bucket
This is totally a WIN.
A cross-section of the traffic cone’s body including its digestive tract reveals its unusual diet. The cone has a remarkable capability of deriving nourishment from just about anything. With no jaw bones (not to mention any internal skeletal structure whatsoever), it can stretch its mouth and body to ingest objects much larger than itself.
This is to prevent you from having a Fender bender.
Interestingly enough, I think if only someone had locked the liquor cabinet, this never would have happened.
is that a gibson strat?
Yep
epiphone strat copy, how they ever got away with that ill never know.
Agreed. I kept looking at my strat and couldn’t figure what the deal was with the neck. The person couldn’t come up with $20 for a good stand to take care of the guitar?
“frank, you know the boss is not going to be happy about this”
“relax herb, i converted them into a piano, two trees, a shelf and a guitar stand, nobody’ll notice”
- Girls are born in roses and boys in cabbage, and guitars in road cones.
– Yes, but which came first, the cone or the guitar ?
Cutting it in half kind of kills the shape of the highway cone.
Maybe if you keep the cone intact, and somehow hang the guitar on its side…
The guitar itself might be a kludge. It looks like a Fender Strat, but it has a Gibson plate covering the truss rod on the headstock.
I noticed that. Looks like someone went Pete Townshend on it, momentarily forgetting they didn’t have the Who’s equipment budget to go along with it.
Nope, this is a guitar that Epiphone actually produced. I have one in red just like this, and I’ve seen some others.
BRB, gone stealing an orange cone…
“Boss, I got this great idea for a new video game!”
“Alright, let’s hear it.”
“Okay. It’s like Guitar Hero… but you’re a highway department employee. You have this guitar, and a traffic cone, and…”
“Get out.”
Surf Wisely.
It isn’t the bad ideas I have a problem with; it’s when the bad ideas get a green light from an idiot.
Yeah, I agree. Still, the Chia Pet has been around for almost 30 years now, so what do I know.
I AM TOTALY DOING THIS WHEN I GET HOME!!!!
Definitely not a “cone of silence.”
Just pretend.
No problem alleycat. Either don’t put a guitar on it, or put one where the strings are “loose”, or there’s one broken or missing. There’s your cone of silence.

We all know it’s not a night out unless you wake up with a traffic cone.
Clearly this guitar had itself a wild night out.
Rock ‘n Roll: Sex, Drugs, and traffic cones. *Jumps into spandex suit*
Elton John, is that you?
Oh, wait. Cones. Madonna, right?
Was thinking Devo, myself. Though theirs were more ziggurat-ish.
That is a good observation. I always thought of their headgear as being more like flowerpots, as I think the color varies sometimes.
I just read this about the “Whip It” video, for what it’s worth:
“The main visual of the video, Mark Mothersbaugh whipping the clothes off a woman (Annerose Bücklers), was inspired by an article in a 1962 issue of “Dude” magazine. In an interview for Song Facts, Casale explains “There was a feature article on a guy who had been an actor and fell on hard times, he wasn’t getting parts anymore. He moved with his wife to Arizona, opened a dude ranch and charged people money to come hang out at the ranch. Every day at noon in the corral, for entertainment, he’d whip his wife’s clothes off with a 12-foot bullwhip. She sewed the costumes and put them together with Velcro. The story was in the magazine about how good he was and how he never hurt her. We had such a big laugh about it, we said, ‘OK, that’s the basis for the video. We’ll have these cowboys drinking beer and cheering Mark on as he’s in the barnyard whipping this pioneer woman’s clothes off while the band plays in the corral.’”
I heard they was on the kids show “Yo Gabba Gabba.” Mark is regular cast member on it.
Haha! I actually just made that connection this very afternoon, when I realized he was the guy chasing an animated drawing of a monkey.
The cone gave birth and is holding the guitar in it’s right position, cradling both head and body… begging the question of where is it going to feed?
No no no
You got it all wrong. Cone is a bassist
(And before you ask, yes, I’m a Sum 41 fan)
Cone’s half-assed attempt to rock with the big boys.
I used to play trombone in a ska band’s horn section and used a traffic cone as my trombone stand. Traffic cones seem to have at least 5 functions: 1. traffic cone, 2. musical instrument stand, 3. megaphone, 4. half Madonna bra, 5. dunce hat.
Kind of like Bill Clinton’s cigar?
Clinton’s cigar played in a ska band?? o_O
It’s offical. I’m dying with laughter right now. Thank you.
*puts on Groucho nose and glasses, waggling… eyebrows*
This is what happens when you play in a Men at Work cover band.
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Really?!? Just, really? This guy has the money to afford a 500 dollar guitar but not a 20 dollar stand?!? FAIL >_<
What a waste of a perfectly good hobo-megaphone. Shame
skyler, since you can apparently afford it, go purchase a sense of humor please
^^ dumbasses don’t know that gibson owns epiphone
