Looks like the bastard child of an SG and a Tele.

I was thinking Tele, Gibson L6S, and G&L SC-2. Oh, and maybe one of the more FSM-forsaken eras of Harmony thrown in, too.

I'd rock the crap outta one of these if I found one for $300 or less.

Yammie SG still singing a sweeter song in my wallet's ear late at night with the lights down low. Time will tell...
