Da Fuq is this?????

Looks like a melting ice sculpture, kinda dig it

"1960"

EDIT: Oh, is this actually from 1960? I'd assumed it was some weird reissue at some point and thought it was therefore funny that it would be made from perspex.

Source, rob?

yeah, I'm calling shenanigans on this

I like the idea that someone might make a 22.5" scale, 1.5-inch-nut toothpick neck guitar with a 15lb body

Good find!

that thing's gotta be heavy af.

Maybe it’s made of the same stuff as these

you could get Iggy to play I wanna be your dog on it

It’s been in a lot of those history of Fender books and posted around forums like this for like 20 years. I remember people wondering wtf was up with it on JS and the early years of SS.

The weird body shape around the forearm area was probably to cut the weight down a bit.

I probably posted the same thing on a thread like this 15 years ago and have completely forgotten.

Damn! That 2.5lbs heavier than my avri jag which definitely feels heavy when it's strapped in.

Interesting. I know there was some plexiglass Musicmaster Bass from the early 70s and some strat from roughly the same period. The strat actually had a transparent neck, unlike the others. Oh, and that weird Beach Boys transparent guitar (wooden neck though).
