Most of the time when someone claims they have a prototype, it's not. This one sure looks real to me, there's even a pic of Carl Wilson playing it.
The shape is certainly in the Fender tradition, yet it's different.

I also believe this one. Bridge looks genuine and rare
-
Early experiments in black hardware... :P
That is a strange egg! Not a big fan of the lucite, but I do like the design. Was that headstock only used on the Starcaster? This one would have pre-dated those...
-
That headstock looks like a Smurfs hat...
:puke:
-
Not Fender's best headstock design indeed... But I got used to them, cos I really like the looks of the Starcaster.
-
I was once told of an EBO (style?) neck married to a pentagonal shaped with prismatic (effect) edges but the "owner" never showed up with the beast, nor with even an image of it - he commented that the light "sprayed off it" in all sorts of directions and that it "weighed a ton..."
I often hankered after a Dan Armstrong (even though I'm not a shorty fan) but it never happened and I guess it never will...
-
it needs a lucite headstock. i think it would work although i have never seen one.
-
BC Rich had some lucite headstocks for a while.
