That's actually not my guitar, but rather a scan from the 1996 Fender flyer. It's a bit chopped in spots as I had to remove an overlay of a Jagstang from the photo.

Yes, if I remember correctly it was Dick Shawn that played the rather flamboyant western sherrif Bing Bell, who Evil Roy Slade affectionately referred to as Ding Dong. I've not seen the movie in over 30 years, but for some reason I just remember things like that.
