The moment I found out Polar Lights was producing the Stooges kits I thought someone would surely produce that mummy figure to go with them. Still waiting...Maybe you need to keep looking around for ideas, mcdee. Like this one:
...a mummy to go with the Polar Lights Stooges!![]()
I would be fine if someone produced a name plate for the Stooges kit.The moment I found out Polar Lights was producing the Stooges kits I thought someone would surely produce that mummy figure to go with them. Still waiting...![]()
Either the Frakie with the Gibson Les Paul with two pickguards, or the bottom one. The top photo was obviously photoshopped, but very cool!What do you guys think?

The dual pickguards only came on the 'Lumbering Giant' Les Paul model. When Gibson put it out it was marketed to the followers of the band 'Monsters of Rock'. This bunch of fans were known to hurl things like rocks, beer bottles and torches at the band's members while they were on stage. The second pick guard was intended to deflect some of those objects and protect the guitar's finish. What Gibson didn't realize though was that it trapped drool underneath it causing the paint to peel. It was the most embarrassing chapter in the legendary instrument makers history and I thought everybody knew about it ...(Well I guess you did say you were a Fender guy)The more I look at Boris with the Gibson the more I'd love to see a kit of it!!
I never noticed the twin pick guards.... I'm not all that clued in on Gibson (I'm a Fender guy)- was that standard??

Truth be known, I've never seen a dual pick-guard on a L.P. before this post. The closest I ever got to owning a Les Paul is a Univox clone with some really beefy (i.e. LOUD) pickups. Looks pretty much like this one:Makes sense to me Matt...
