Then there's the rumor (disputed by some) that Jaco Pastorius would eat greasy chicken before playing and get the strings greasy on purpose.Maybe a Gibson/KFC tie-in would reduce the cost. A likeness of the Colonel on the pickguard. I'm sure our veggie friends will go for that.
The Colonelbird, playable only with a KFC bucket on your head.
It would probably be a single cut model though (rather than a bird)...
I'll bet his playing is tasty.
