And what sort of vision inspired this?

Lying in a field gazing at clouds or staring into the toilet bowl after ingesting too many psychotropics?

First thought that came to mind, “Careful with that axe Eugene”.
I know we have seen this one before in a different colour scheme. That suggests that someone is mass producing these uglies. Scarey
castoffParticipantYes, but if I played in a Klingon Empire metal band…….Hmmm. I would want it.
castoffParticipant😯 The crucifiction submission by myfoot is interesting. For those of you not familiar with skeletal anatomy…. the large ears attached to the sides of the wedge are actually the separated halves of the pelvis of some type of animal (perhaps a cow or horse). If you were able to view the back of that monstrosity you would see the hip sockets. Is this too much information? Now I have heard of a bone nut or bone saddle or bone bridge pins but bone bouts is a first for me. How much sustain does one guitar need?
I wonder why nobody bid on it. In my opinion a guitar always plays and sounds better and is much sexier and is worth much much more when it has mammalian body parts hanging from it. 🙄 🙄

The headstock does not appear to have ever had a name or logo. I think it still has the original finish.
Stephen at Vintage Guitars Info http://www.provide.net/~cfh/hofner.html says that this guitar resembles a Hofner 449s thinline from ~1960. But he thinks it is a low end Klira.
This guitar has a faulty neckset from the factory.

The faulty neckset may have made it a factory reject. Perhaps that is why there is no name or logo on it.
????? 😕 🙄
castoffParticipantPurchased on ebay for ~$150US. Sold as a wall-hanger because neck was set improperly at the factory. Story is it was brought to the USA by an American serviceman who was posted in Germany in the 60s. It caught my eye because it appeared to be a Hofner.
Picture of my guitar:

Picture of Hofner of same vintage:

The Hofner is obviously a higher model with more embellishments. But the similarities (body shape, headstock shape,and pickguard) are striking.
Soooooo, What is it??? 😕
