That is quite a curio. Dunno if I like it or not, but I'll always love those headstocks.

| Really cool, like it a lot, but I bet it weighs as much as I do. |

The tailpiece on that guitar looks like a modified version of the tremolo on my Fender Coronado II and a Mustang. Very Cool. I like how it has Fender on the flattened tube. I wish the Coronado had that.

I love the look of lucite/acrylic guitars but like benecol said- they tend to weigh a ton. I have to use a really wide strap with my BCR Mockingbird to distribute the weight, its also more comfortable higher on the strap.

Yeah, as someone who finds a musicmaster just about ok and a jazzmaster prohibitively heavy, I can't even imagine rocking one of these. |

I don't know if it's my eyes or my brain or what, but the upper horn on that one looks really odd to me - kind of enormous!
edit: maybe it's the lower bout actually. oh i don't know. |

I'm fairly certain the whole thing was eyeballed, being a 1960 one-off for a tradeshow... either that or they just shaved some corners off here and there to reduce the weight/extended the horn to make it balance better, etc... who knows.
The pickguard at the control area is crazy too, though this may have been to conceal a ground wire from the bridge.

Non-paying auction winners - don't you just love 'em? "Sorry dude, but I won't be buying that geetar after all. My Mom just found out she needs a liver replacement procedure plus I got an unexpected garage bill, so no way can I raise the $28k as I'd thought to previously." |

Standard eBay response to any kind of delay or non-payment:
"Was at a funeral sorry."
