All I know is that the strange accessory in the first 3 pictures, which appears to be holding the lid open (in the upper right hand corner), is the removable piece of a guitar stand upon which the body of the guitar would generally sit. (See http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Musicians-Friend-Tubular-Guitar-Stand?sku=450819 for pic.) I hope it's not actually holding the lid open -- the part that's in contact with the soft wood of the lid is hard steel with a blunt edge.
Very cool item to see on eBay, though. Thanks, Randy! -Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> Subject: [Phono-L] RE: What is this? > An interesting item is on ebay.
