This same guitar turned up on the Bay around Thanksgiving, I recall. Looks like it met an Erector set somewhere along the way.
It's a very clumsy design solution--to use the idea of offset tuners like a Rick 12, but to put them on an extended headstock. I believe the wood of the headstock--it's very long and narrow--is too weak to handle the string tension.
Not to mention the shame of being so butt-ugly.

Odd thing about MVP (Well, the LATEST odd thing...) is that after he posted on gretschpages.com, a couple of weeks ago, with pictures of his '55 Cadillac Biarritz convertible, he put his entire Gretsch collection up for sale on eBay for $20K in ONE auction.
He has not posted on gretschpages.com since.
I suppose he now can be found on junkcadillac.org these days...

That's a good thing isn't it? I just hope he stays on the Cadillac site and does not take an interest in Rics.
