That's more Wimpy than Gumby!

"Ahh! That's the fatty I was originally thinking about, except unbound... "

It's a '71 with a bound headstock

The Gumby headstocks arrived around the same time as the larger tuners. Inconsistent in the early 70's but pretty much 100% Gumby by the late 70's. My '84 370WB had a Gumby like the headstock shown above but with large Schallers.

Then came the boat paddles which to me look even more Gumby.

The blue one is from 1987. Part of the mythical "1987: Return of the Gumby" special editions...

That '87 one is Gumby to the max. What model is it?

"That '87 one is Gumby to the max. What model is it?"

I dunno. Maybe they scribbled the model number in the control cavity?
