Cocaine Guitar
$3.5M Instrument Can't Play a Lick
This guitar won't ever play a note -- that's because it's made of pure cocaine. A dope head flew from Costa Rica to Rome with a guitar made to look like a black Strat Squier. He even bothered to put the label back on the fake. He was also carrying 10 insulated drink containers full of cocaine in solution. It totaled three kilogram of pure coke. Cocaine has been hidden everywhere, juice boxes, computers, arm casts, doors and even beetles!
