                            Tony Cochran Guitars Custom #69                        

This guitar was owned by Tadpole Raymond, an aspiring rockabilly hero from the late 50s. He wrote the now infamous song "Make Me A Pie & I'll See What I Can Do." He made the whole body of the guitar from odd bits of scrap iron he found on his day job at a junkyard. It isn't as heavy as it looks. When Tadpole died, it sat in the half open trunk of a '59 Buick in the back row of Weller Auto Parts and Salvage. It was there for 10 years before someone found it. The frets needed a polish and I put on fresh strings. The rest is patina.
