Two of my favourite things - guitars and boats. ;)

Quote:
The boat is prominently featured in the video for Josh Pyke's new single Make You Happy, and it appears to be an accurate replica of his favorite guitar.


Anyone recognize the guitar?

It'a a copy of his Maton http://www.maton.com.au/index.php

Apparently he was going to auction it on eBay for charity - see below...

"The extraordinary guitar-shaped boat built for the Josh Pyke video `Make You Happy` is going to be auctioned for charity.
Maton guitars created the SS Maton for the video. Josh is seen sailing it around Sydney Harbour the ‘Make You Happy’ clip.
Now Josh wants to use the guitar-boat to raise money for Indigenous Literacy Project. "Seeing the guitar boat clip spread around the world has been one of the highlights of releasing this album so far," says Josh. "I love the idea that its charm will now go towards helping something I'm passionate about. Later this year I'll be launching an event called 'Busking For Change' in conjunction with the Indigenous Literacy Project, and the sale of the guitar boat will help to fund this."
The auction will commence on eBay from February 9 and end on February 12. "

Anyone know whether it actually happened? Maybe on Oz eBay?
