One of the better uses this particular model can be put to.  :popcorn:

I suppose one could make an Explorerbird out of it?

It already is - it has a maple neck. But by moving the bridge back and with a long scale Fender neck you could turn it  into a decent long scale Explorerbird. If you have some spare pups lying around that is.

Is this such a bad model that even the pups would not be worth a punt...?

Ok on a maple Grabber or a long scale Q-80, but without sparkle or punch on the medium scale maho body Explorer.

I prefer a leg lamp. Much more elegant, as long as the Bumpus family doesn't live in your neighborhood.

The leg lamp was featured "A Christmas Story" the movie based on Jean Shepherd's childhood.






A different version appeared earlier in "The Phantom Of The Open Hearth" which was an adaptation of one of his earlier short stories set when he was a teenager.

Dave, you need to find a hobby to occupy your spare time...  ;)

Dave, are you a fan of Shep's work? I grew up on his radio show and books.
