What kit is this guitar from? Just curious!

[mr moto]

I got this from Ebay in a batch of old doodads like AMT used to include in many old kits. It looks a lot like a Gibson or Gretsch thin hollow body except that there's something that looks like an exhaust pipe where the lower cutaway should be. It's definitely a styrene kit part but I don't think it's from the Monkeemobile or Raiders Coach (not sure). Anybody seen this before?

Looks like the one in the Revell Rat Roaster kit.  The one in the Dodge Magnum kit (1/25) is different.

The Revell 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8 kit also has a Guitar in it along with some decals for the Guitar.

Looks like you nailed it! Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. There's probably no explanation for the exhaust system attached to the guitar.

Thanks for the explanation of the header! Total surprise.

Anyway, I'm already in the process of customizing that custom guitar. It's being converted into a Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird.

Here's an update. Still needs a little cosmetic work and a paint job.

That looks like a Gretsch Thunderbird, very cool.

Nice job on the conversion.  Bo Diddley would rock that thing.

I have the Strat that came in the Magnum but it's just a cheap Chinese copy 😉

I wonder if anybody makes a 1/25 Bo Diddley figure?
