If you're an EcoGeek, Spinal Tap fan, and guitar player, boy have I got the deal for you.

For the next 24 hours, you can bid on the 100% unique, completely Ernie Ball Music Man guitar. Of course, it's going to cost you more than $15,000, but for a true fan, it's a small price...right?

OK, maybe not. I thought they'd sweeten the pot with an "all proceeds go to," but instead it goes to Ernie Ball's favorite charity: the Casey Lee Ball Foundation for pediatric kidney research at the UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital. I suppose we can't argue with that.

From the Auction:

Laser engraved figured maple top depicting a flaming Earth Real snow globe with Al Gore figurine, "Presidential Seal" and volume-activated lighting Knobs in the shape of an ice cube and an Egyptian pyramid...Functioning LED "thermometer" running up the center of the fingerboard (when the tone pot is pulled up, the thermometer slowly rises to the first fret; freezing is at the 12th fret) Flamed headstock Fully-detailed guitar backside painted black with sparkling stars complete with a "Blackberry" compartment containing a small faux blackberry fruit.

I guess they thought of everything? The guitar was commissioned for Spinal Tap's reunion for the Live Earth Global Warming concert series. It's pretty cool. Hit the auction page to check out hi-res photos.
