LOL (I stand corrected).

I can't say that I like the arched top thingie, but if the pups are the same as the one in my TBII they alone make it worth the price. I paid the same $$$ for mine a few years back BTW

Using the words Custom and RARE would mean (to me) that this was done at the factory. Any evidence that this is true?

I kind of like what they did with the body. I wonder if the top curves are less extreme looking in person? It sounds like the neck is thinner than the usual Greco Birds. I would probably buy it if my wife gave the go ahead. Plus it's already in the states so the shipping isn't bad for once.

That's gotta be one of the ugliest headstocks I've ever seen.

There's worse, but yeah, looks so wrong on a TBird shaped body.  Typically Japanese though.

[Basvarken]

Oh come on,
I've seen much worse.

Yes, Rotterdam, around 1940 for instance.

[Basvarken]

Dresden?
