It's only worthy if it was built before Leo sold it! :)
As to the modeling guitar, I have to say my 'slave girl' is a Fernandes
Nomad guitar. It's that goofy little 'elephant' guitar with the built in
amp, and Jag scale. I bought this thing back in '92-'93 I guess, and it's
been through more batteries than a Roto-Vibe (another cool mistress of
mine). Strung fairly light, it's the perfect office/shop guitar for those
hours you seem to spend on hold or waiting on parts to arrive.
Someday, I'll upgrade to the Nomad Deluxe, with the built in Zoom 505 or
whatever effects box. Not exactly a Dual Showman and a fat strung Strat, but
a hell of a lot easier to tote or sneak into the girlfriend's house for some
after-the-lovin' something-to-do-besides-hold-her picking and grinning..
You mention Luddites, how about Lucites? There's also the Pignose guitar,
made from the clear stuff. Also a built in amp and short scale, it sounds
like your typical shitbox Joe Walsh in the 70's sound. Still and all, a good
doughnut spare when you're 14x32's are out of the question.
