I only put it up here, because I had run into it at the same store 15 years earlier..

It has a home made boxy body.. I asked the new store owner about it and he said someone must have sold it back to them..

I was about to buy this instead of a 65 mustang back in the day..

Without the infamous Bronco tremolo, it couldn't possibly be a Bronco!

Yeah, like half of Gibson's entire line.

I think the 80's were pretty awful time for ALL guitar manufacturers.

A side note.. When I almost bought this guitar back in the mid 90's I was going to paint the body white and call it the OJ.. haha

The OJ...  ;D

My Gibson Sonex is from 1980.  It's fantastic as far as pickups and electronics, but cosmetically it's disgusting.

Id get one of these as a joke.. Then join some snobby fender forum and ask about the best mods I could make for it..
Tell them I wanted to put a vintage 62 Strat neck on it, but I might have to cut the headstock to match.. haha it would be fun
