No such thing. There are Redneck basses but not Redneck 610s. The Redneck basses actually have a red fretboard. Cool guitar though.

That would make sense. Thus the term "redneck".

I thought however, that there were basses,guitars and 12 stringers made this way.

I believe that only basses were Rednecks. 4, 5 and 8 strings.

I'm aware of that, Lee. Gert Frobe was a very underrated actor IMO. Did you know that his voice was dubbed in 'Goldfinger' - he couldn't speak a word of English. He ended up doing over 100 movies in a 45 year career.

Anyway, can't Germans be rednecks? We've got 'em here too!!

Having married and divorced a German I think I can say that there are plenty of good ethnic slurs that spring to mind before 'redneck' rears it's suntburnt head. Terrible pun I know but it's taking a while to regrow my sense of humour post-Prussian!
