The guitar boat Josh Pyke drove in his Make You Happy music video is up for auction on ebay, with the current bid at more than $6,000.

The custom-made boat went up for auction on ebay earlier this week.

The starting bid was 0.99 cents, and with eight days to go, the current highest bidder is willing to pay $6,100.

The majority of the proceeds will going to the event Busking For Change, Pyke said.

For your chance to own your very own guitar boat (there isn’t another like it!), head to the listing on ebay.

The guitar boat will be on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney, for the duration of the auction and following week.

More information will be available on ‘Busking For Change’ in the coming months, but please head to www.worldwithoutbooks.org for more information on the Indigenous Literacy Project.

The single, Make You Happy, has been lifted off Pyke’s latest album, Chimney’s Afire.
