I can think of only one place where this fits
But(t) ... pretty funny. And the wood-colored one, besides the dangling seat cover, I must say I've seen uglier looking guitars (by serious designers).

There are probably more things about an electric guitar that don't matter than actually do.

I'll bet that one doesn't sound half as good, even after a year of pissin'-for-practice

This is a fun post, but it's been done. I think the name of the guy who made the "real deal" was Charlie Deal (or something close to that)--although he didn't build with actual seats--he carved real bodies from real wood to look like toilet seats, & they had properly fitted necks (maybe not so much in the early years). He was somewhere in the San Francisco area. Airplane/Starship had toilet seat guitars back in the 70s, & I think I've seen pics of the guitarist with Huey Lewis with one. I want to say I've seen Elliot Easton or Rick Nielsen with one, but I can't be sure of that. They were high-end novelties that were playable, a lot of them also sounded good--& a lot of irreverent guitarists (especially from the "flower power" era) eventually ended up with one. They were relatively sought after--mainly because Charlie didn't make them fast enough, & supply never met demand (which I guess means there have to be collectors somewhere). Anybody out there in la LA land, keep an eye open--you might find one at a California yard sale/flea market/pawn shop.
