A Penguin!

I think it's a good investment, Mitch. And very cool!

Thanks Mark.I think it is pretty cool.I payed $2000 for it,which is the most I ever spent for a guitar.It is in mint condition and all original except the pickups have been rewound by Lindy Fralin.

Seems like that would affect its value in a positive way, though I'm no collector. Enjoy!

Penguin -versus- Paul. Penguin always wins in my book! Sorry, Les. I still love you!

Penguin vs. Paul? No contest! Penguin wins every time.

Those Dynasonics are great sounding pickups, you're in for a treat Mitch. Nice grab indeed.
