    Interesting guitars.

    Why would anybody want a guitar made out of lead?

    I can never remember which is heavier, lead guitar or steel guitar.

    I asked that at a music store when I was like 12. I didn't understand the weird looks I got

    I've heard that lead is good for guitars and zeppelins.

    I'm into solid steel guitars because I'm not a man; I'm an ox.

    If Fender had the balls they'd bring back my fav Fender of all, the Performer.

    The Performer was it's own guitar with a unique shape, not to be confused with the Performer Series of the usual Fender fare.

    Is it me or does the Performer look like an attempt at the Parker Fly? Body shape looks that way to me.

    Wow, following OA's link can really lead one down the rabbit hole. One can explore a lot of failed Fender guitars by repeatedly clicking on links...!
