What's a lawn jockey?
His ads are distinctive that's for sure.

Lawn Jockeys.

" The story goes that at the time of Washington's crossing of the Delaware, a 12 year old African American Joque Graves was at camp, a groomsman for Washington. He wanted to make the crossing with the army; however, Washington, aware of the danger, ordered him to stay on the Pennsylvania shore, and shine a light, so upon return the company would know where to come to retrieve their horses. After the surprise attack on the Trenton barracks, Washington returned to find Joque had frozen to death, guarding the horses, the lantern still ablaze and frozen in his hand.Moved by the boys devotion, Washington commissioned a statue, 'The Faithful Groomsman', to stand in honor of Graves at the General's estate at Mount Vernon."

This one looks like a good deal. But is it legit? Did Rickenbacker ever make a v63 with sanded horns and a satin finish, or was this one altered after it left the factory?

sheesh, what an ugly headstock! that one went quick...and with no Godzilla or lawn jockey!

hey I just saw a "lawn jockey" in the "Animal House" movie. It was in the scene where the mayor's daughter was left in a shopping cart.

go figure

I gonna knock the little jockeys off the rich people’s lawns, and before they get up, I'll be gone!

Hmmm, gotta love those Zappa lyrics.

See?!? Jared posts a pic before I even thought about it.
