With all best guesses in, this was Buster Figlio's personal guitar. Buster was the flamboyant lead in the band "Amaya Jambalaya and the Ever Cool Glitter Review." Buster had a knack for stealing Amaya's thunder with his other worldly solos. It is also reported that the "Tri-Coin Genesta" wired between the humbuckers gave him that unfair advantage. He procured the device in New Orleans from a medium known only as Madam Raven. She had a place down near the corner of Cleveland Avenue and South Johnson Street. I don't know what it cost him there, but it cost him his life in a dance hall in New Jersey when Amaya, fed up with being shown up, shot him dead at close range with a high caliber pistol. You can still see the powder burns on the brass near the jack socket. It cleaned right off the silver.
