The chrome "Gumby with the Sunglasses" tail piece is worth the price of the guitar!   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 2295 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 67.180.37.56 Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2005 - 01:59 am:    The reason that they look so goofy is that the fakers seldom get the details right. The pickguard on this one is especially heinous, but just about everything is just slightly wrong--the paint shading, TRC, knobs, Gumby, fret markers, tuning machines. In all, they add up to a gross caricature of a classic guitar. Formerly owned by Bruno the Conqueror. Step right up.
