This looks like a failed rip-off from a guitar that Dutch master luthier Robberts built in the eighties.

Can't find a pic, but the legs in the original sure looked better than these crippled limbs...

"Hand made in Holland" That would explain the wooden shoes I guess?

How did they mess up that one (in the live pic) so as to have , like, no damn booty.  The Dutch just aren't ass men I suppose.

I never saw I would see anything more horrible than the wangcaster.
