lol .. Google translator

I recently got a message from a guy in Spain wondering about my guitars.
I wrote back to him in Spanish with the help of Google translator, then ran it back through to English to see what I would get... horrifying

__________________
Hello!
Thanks for the message. My Spanish is very bad, but I will use Google translator :-)
Here are my guitars prices in Euros:

White Flamenco - 2000 €
Flamenco-2200 black €
Classical Guitar-2350 €

All my guitars are 100% handmade as the mouth and coated with rubber coating applied by hand.
You can see pictures of my guitars on my website:

www.andyculpepper.com

Want more photos of the filth that is on sale (1500 €)?

Thanks!

Andy

Why do you put rubber coating on your guitars?

It helps make your bulerias bounce.

Hey, it's good enough for Tomatito. (And it helps prevent the spread of FTDs).

haha! rubber coating! bulerias bounce!

god, why do they bother creating images like that? any guitarist, and probably the majority of tomatito cd buyers are guitarists, would just shudder at the thought of a nice guitar drowning in water.

One guy put rubber coating on the check he gave me to pay for a guitar I had sold him.

You have to be careful what you name your album, or someone will come up with 'appropriate' images.
(I couldn't find the old picture of Vicente in the swimming pool...but we really don't want to go down that road again.

hehehe Anthony I actually just put "negra" not "guitarra negra"
and the "mouth" part was referring to the rosette
The rubber coating is my patented Flamencondom™ technology.
