Josh Pyke's headline-grabbing guitar boat will be auctioned on eBay next month with the majority of proceeds going to the Indigenous Literacy Project.

The extraordinary vessel was created for the music video for Josh's single 'Make You Happy', which saw Josh cruise around Sydney Harbour in the custom-made SS Maton.

The clip was the #1 featured video on YouTube worldwide, and created waves across the globe. During filming, images of the guitar boat made their way into international newspapers and spread rapidly across the internet, with praise for the guitar boat flowing from all corners of the world.

The auction will go live on February 2, 2009 and end on Friday, February 12, 2009 the day that Josh kicks off his national 'Chimney's Afire' album tour in Fremantle, WA. The album, Josh's second, hit the charts at a phenomenal #3 (#1 on the Australian chart) and has been a favourite with critics and fans alike.
