is this the purpleaxxxxxe?

is this in the right forum???

Is it me, or is that thing shaped like a apple bottom on purpose?

The Purpleaxxe™
"Tommy (Elm) Barbarella" played it mostly (cf. "Pussy Control" live, VH-1).

The horns are pretty cool, but the other side looks like my grandpa's testicles.

Wow this is an amazing find!!!!!

Yup this is the Purpleaxxe used on the Diamonds and Pearls and ActI/ActII tours. I've only ever seen this one in the Lavender/Violet colour

I must say that my favourite is the Goldaxxe (in both Gold and Metalic Blue) that was used on the Gold Tour and Rave DVD (The Blue one he plays during Gett Off)

Now if I could just get my plans on that one I could get them both made. I know where to get his guitars made but does anybod know who could make one of these?

Wow P is on fire - there just aint no stopping his talents !!! he's so funky

Hey, the patent runs out in 16 days!

I know what I'm going to be making on July 27th!

Hmmm,

That is the keyboard Tommy Barbarella used. I think there is a picture on the album photo.
