Kind of Jagmaster esque guitar?

Post by Freddy V-C »

Image

Played a gig with this band, The Heebie Jeebies, on Sunday. What guitar is that guy playing? At first I thought it was a Danelectro Hornet, but in retrospect it blatantly looks nothing like a Danelectro Hornet. Kind of like a Jagmaster with a Strat layout and a 3-a-side headstock. I got talking to him after the gig and stupidly forgot to ask, any ideas? I can't read the headstock...

At first glance, I thought of the old Futurama guitars, similar to George Harrison's early III.

But the closer I look, the less I think this is the case.

Looks like he's converted a canoe paddle to make that neck and headstock.

If it wasn't so comically wide I'd like the headstock.

and obviously some kind of stupid neck.

That's what I thought, the lettering is definitely similar, but doesn't quite follow the same shape:

HOW TO SOLVE GUITAR ID MYSTERIES.

FIND BAND NAME/ ARTIST > GO ON FLICKR > FIND HIGH QUALITY HEADSTOCK PHOTO. or read comment "A Dave Dearnaley custom built guitar - want one."

there is a bigger copy here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/gulch/3754294212/sizes/o/in/photostream/

I reckon the neck is a Dearnaley guitars neck, but the body just one of those cheap jaguar copies.

That headstock deserves that undercover morris dancers jumper, bet they drink out of tankards & listen to the foals.
