Did you actually read what you wrote before you posted it? Or is that last sentence in code?

far an away its the Hagstrom headstock shape.

 

it doesnt matter if a guitar has six in a line tuners, or three on each side. i just happens to be that the hagstoms typically have three on a side.

 

WHAT IS important, however is the "Gumby" lookin offset top of the headstock.

 

its not that it affects sound, but more in homage to the true father of the blues: Gumby.

 

one cannot read the following quotes from gumby and his pals without feeling blues deep inside their soul, and to the marrow of their lonely bones.

 

behold the blues genius of the true master of the genre, Gumby:

 

Nope! Nope! Nope!

-Nopey

 

If you have a heart, Gumby's a part of ***YOU!***

-Theme song

 

Do you want to try it, Pokey?" "No thanks, I prefer grass.

 

-Gumby Pokey

 

We've been framed. Never trust animated people.

I've had enough piano moving. Besides, I can't even read music.

-Prickle

 

Pokey: [Gumby caught a baseball in his belly] "Good work, Gumby. That's using the ol' stomach.

-Pokey

 

Jellyroll #1: I say, Rolly, look at that green chap. Wouldn't he make great jelly filling? Ha ha ha. Jellyroll #2: Yeah, let's get him.

-Jellyroll #1 Jellyroll #2

 

Ecology means keeping the Earth a healthy place to live.

-Goo

 

Pokey: (about extinct animals) "Does that mean that their relatives smell bad?"

 

-Pokey

 

Gumby: Ohh. . . Prickle, we're in a pickle!

-Gumby

 

Witty Witch: Yabba Dabba Doo!

-Witty Witch

 

Home, James! I mean, let's go home, Prickle.' 'Roger, Goo.

-Goo Prickle

 

Pokey: "Holy Toledo!"
