The ad doesn't make sense, unless I'm being obtuse as usual.

An ad for John Pearse guitar strings and a picture of a bottle of some
sort of snake oil.

I could be wrong here, but I see a confluence of three mutually
exclusive descriptors:

John Pearse Phospher Bronze Strings
A horn box, which I associate with an array of piezo tweeter horns in
a cabinet (box)
The pictured fluid which is used in "smoke" machines for lighting
effects

I am picturing in my mind how John would have responded to all this.

Perhaps the quoted price is cummulative.

Best wishes,

Jim,

It's haze oil. Haze is a stage effect like smoke. The ad is screwy. It
looks like a mix of several ads. Haze oil goes for about $50 a jug. I've no
idea what a "HORNBOX" is.
