Josh Pyke Guitar Boat Sold

My husband assured me we didn’t have enough cash lying around to buy the guitar boat seen in Josh Pyke’s“Make You Happy” clip. He was right. The awesome piece of music memorabilia has sold for $7100.

Money raised from the eBay auction will benefit the Indigenous Literacy Project, an initiative looking to address the literacy crisis in remote Aboriginal communities.

If you want to see the boat you’d better get in quick. It will be on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour until February 19.

Own Josh Pyke’s Guitar Boat!

From the first moment I saw it, I fell in love with the guitar boat Josh Pyke sails around Sydney Harbour in his “Make You Happy” video. Now it seems I have a chance of owning it.

This awesome boat, created by Maton Guitars, will be auctioned for charity. Josh will donate all funds raised by the auction to the Indigenous Literacy Project.

“Seeing the guitar boat clip spread around the world has been one of the highlights of releasing this album so far,” said 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 start on eBay from February 9 and end on February 12. Somehow I don’t think that’s going to give me enough time to raise the cash for this awesome vessel!

Sydneysiders can see the boat at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour until a lucky owner is found!
