Ben Harper guitars, skateboards and skateboard guitars

I was digging around for more skateboard guitars and someone mentioned the Ben Harper video for Ground on Down, which led me to the SK8 lap guitar from Cole Clark Guitars on some sort of loosely affiliated Ben Harper web site that isn’t the official one. That lap guitar has the good sense to have Indy trucks coupled with a poor choice of World Industries wheels. And then there’s the Ben Harper longboard, with artwork created by someone you’d never guess… Winston Smith, the man behind the Dead Kennedy’s logo and accompanying photo collage artwork.

  1. That lap steel is $1400; you’d think that you cou get something better than World Industry wheels! At least they didn’t skimp on the Indy’s. Looks like a great instrument.

  2. Posers, there isn’t even one scratch on those trucks.

  3. EAI my friend! Thanks for putting the skatecuriosidade (Post DAFF) in your blog, thank you also for posting materials on the skate interresantes as an annoy, and congratulations for your work .. I am the owner Eduardo Yndyo Tassara skatecuriosidade, walk every day to skate since 1974.

    Went on a lunch break when Palmeiro and Pudge were departing, and suddenly this came about. Paid the grand, and now it’s by far my most prized possession in the world. Only took me 7 years to figure out how to play it. But now that I know, whipping boy sounds very nice.
