Maybe one of you guys can help me I.D. this thing. I couldn't resist. It had a low BIN and was just too cool to pass up.

that's a Dangleberry Rocket, made in the famed Shitikunto factory.

not really. kent or something? looks a bit like a harmony bobcat but without the nice foil pickups.

yeah, headstock looks kentish. also bridge looks like a hagstrom or something. knobs scream teisco. looks like a mustang/tom combination bridge.

it's also been refin'd.

Here's 2 of the same guitars under different brands:

The first one is an "IDEAL". the 2nd one is an "ENCORE".

The Ideal looks like a match. The headstock is a little different but on closer inspection it looks like the headstock on the one I bought might have been altered at some point.
Thanks!

I had a little true tone semi hollow short-scale guitar that had the same pickups and truss rod cover. I mean I'm sure the same parts got used on a bunch of different guitar companies but mine was a solid little guitar with crystal clean pickups (that squealed like a pig with distortion beyond light overdrive)
