HALP SOMEONE TALK ME OUT OF BUILDING MY OWN ELECTRIC FIDDLE-MADE-OF-GOLD*

* Fiddle may be only gold-coloured and not contain any actual gold
Btw, carefully note the year of the date on the first post of this thread

As promised, a blog post on the making of the Stradivarielzebub

There we go, final touches applied—the tail and horns now have a bit of gold leaf on them
It is now literally a "shiny fiddle made of gold"
@robey Thanks so much! :)
