Given the late year, that CAR fin is probably the real thing.

Only second one I see with maple board though - CAR fin G-3s tend to have ebony boards. This is still different from other previous maple board G-3s in that it has a more durable three piece maple neck without the usally grafted headstock (the ebony board ones came with the classic one piece maple neck plus grafted headstock).

However, bad to appalling photographs do the item no favors whatsoever.

never saw a g-3 in maple. maybe a modified grabber???
Does this count as a difference in model and not a "fin" issue, my Lord of the Dark Side...? ;)
Uwe: It doth, wood is wood and color is color.
Understood, my Lord... ;)

Unclear and impenetrable like the thoughts of the Dark Side the question is. What is meant, body or neck? Rippers, Grabbers and G-3s all at one time a phase had in which built of alder their bodies were, not of maple, young Padavan! More prevalent maple body G-3 are than those of alder their bodies are made of. Reconsider and rephrase his question he must. A wrong question never to a righteous path lead it can.
Hahaha, Uwe, that's awesome!
Wood color doesn't matter as much as hardware color, me thinks.
They do look different, don't they?

Yes, the one on the left has a little guitar built-in.

Just the titles, my Lord, just the titles... ;D
Over knee boots never looked better on any man. Fräulein Rommel excepted of course.

Yes, limeys under proper Germanic instruction can do a thing or two.

Has anyone ever effectively answered the question of why they did not keep going after Dunkirk, otherwise I would most certainly be speaking German... mind you, that means my mum and dad would probably still be up on the Island... dad didn't get called up until after the end of June that year... (classic shot btw)

Mine too! "Do Androids DReam of Electric Sheep?" tops "Blade Runner" in my estimation and it's my fave Sci Fi movie.
Hitler never had a serious intention of conquering Great Britain - he wrote already in Mein Kampf that a downfall of the Empire would not benefit Germany which had no interest in overseas colonies (the Lebensraum was east ...), but only the comparative "upstarts" Japan and the USA which would then simply assume control in the void left by the Empire. He also regarded the British "race" as largely "Aryan" (also in Mein Kampf), albeit unfortunately infested with the dark powers of "world jewry".
Dunkirk was an extended hand to the UK to enter into armistice talks with full honor intact. Hitler did not want an England too weak for fear of a crumbling Empire. When that failed, there were no serious plans in the cupboard to invade and occupy England - neither the German Army nor the Kriegsmarine nor the Luftwaffe were geared for a large scale invasion from the sea, they were forces created solely for and to support land wars. Rather Hitler believed that the U-Boat embargo and the London Blitz would bow GB into submission and once again into the entering into peace talks, effectively ceding Continental Europe to the Third Reich and leaving the Empire unscathed. It didn't work that way, but Churchill saw the danger that it could and he farsightedly kept England long enough in the war unconquered for Japan to attack the US and the US then enter WW II.
The Third Reich, for all its inherent evilness, did not even bother to occupy France in full, much less would it have occupied the Brit Isles which are - let's face it - strategically irrelevant for control of the Continent. Well, at least we had the Channel Islands which you guys, adding insult to injury, did not even reconquer after D-Day but simply circumvented until Germany capitulated.
Good response, mein Fuhrer... dank...
Dada... Like a number of movies/books transfers Androids to (Nourse/Burroughs titled) Bladerunner are so different - everything about PKD was his view of "being human", the attitude of what makes us "human..." I am much more satisfied with the final cut but still love the original version...
We all see the result of what many of us would constitute "being inhuman" and that I'll not be drawn on... I'll put a spin on the viewpoint over here... I am fully of the belief that there is no such thing as an "English race..." only a "state of mind..." They do not even truly understand their illegitimate heritage, but constantly complain about imigrants, forgetting what they are...
Hmm... lets see... obsessions... I originally had a boot video shortly after the release, then acquired an official "rental only" copy, then the directors cut video, and then the DVD and now the ultimate 5 disc set (no blueray here [yet ;)], nor could I afford the briefcase set) - I have the PC game - I have a script which mentions the dialogue for Deckard discussing on a voiceover, "seen em laugh, seen em howl... never seen one cry..." - my original quad poster is carefully preserved with my original quad Terminator (the more unusual Arnie art one, not the usual one) poster - I have several books and original (foyer) film stills but am not a completist... obviously have the Jeter follow-up novels...
Having seen the film well in excess of one hundred times, at a very conservative estimate, means I can quote from most of the film with ease...
There is a lady with a most impressively themed tattoo on the subject...
I have the plans to make your own unicorn origarmi round here somewhere...
From a sci-fi perspective, is there anyone that has had more of their novels (genre) transfered to the silver screen than PKD...?
"Pity she won't live... then again, who does..."
ps big fan of Ridley Scott, too...
