Looks like some kind of sack barrow but if you move that old guitar thing out of the way we can all get a better look at it.

Allan it's a paper towel roll I used for padding to keep from scratching the end plat when I hauled it in on the hand cart. The thing weighs a ton. |

Michael thanks. I thought it looked vaguely familiar. My grandfather had one like the double neck you have pictured but it just didn't look like that so I had no idea what it really was except a fender
I just noticed that the little mute lever is missing.
It has cables. For what I want to use it for (convert it to E9 and have the fun of tinkering with it) At $100 I don't believe I got hurt too bad. |

It's worth way more than you paid for it in parts alone. A great find. The paintwork on those Fenders often deteriorates and cracks over the years and most of them end up repainted. I once covered one in the type of PVC they use for amplifiers.
Yours has been sanded down and finished in natural wood, which is one of the alternatives that I considered at the time. Whichever way you look at it you got a real bargain. |

Can you post a pic of the under carraige? The back of the guitar. I would be curious to see it.
