I was relieved to find this wasn't a thread about someone's third or fourth wife.

If the neck pickup was straight and the pickguard lines more relevent/sympathetic/whatever to the body (instead of hacked out with tin snips) it would be OK (ish).

I think I can resist the temptation to bid.

If the paintjob wasnt so eye scorching, and the pup placement different, it wouldnt be too bad!

Your LesCaster is a strange beast, but not bad!

That's a mongrel I don't like. Best part of it is the stylish way in which the makers name is written.

That would be one big bottle of beer. If that came with the guitar, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The key is....

...."made in 1984". Go back into the archives and look at some of the other stuff that was going around back then. Looks pretty normal from that viewpoint.

Ah, it aint that bad.

I'd play her after maybe, four or five beers. As long as I didn't wake up next to it in the morning.

Almost looks like some of those strange Tiesco Japanese made type of beasts from the '60s in some strange way.

It looks like it was left too near the fire and started to melt but someone got to it in time !
I can believe its "rare" too, lets face it, how many of those would you reasonably expect to sell ?
Blazer on the other hand ...... thats a cool looking guitar Sir !
