I’ve used these before in my project, couple of miniature guitars from famous artists that Carole bought me some years ago that live in my study; the one on the left belongs to the WOMORR (Wild Old Man of Rock & Roll) Richard John Parfitt (RIP) and the one on the right belongs to the GOMORR (Grand Old Man of Rock & Roll) Francis Michael Rossi.
For those outside of the UK, Japan and Australia, they both founded a band called Status Quo and as Jackie Lynton once famously announced them to a packed Apollo Glasgow, in my simple mind they were “The Number One Band In The Land!!”
Not bad on black
Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

No, sadly not. They’re about 9” (24cm) tall and are strictly ornamental (if you strum the strings there’s a noise (Carole would say it sounds like Quo) but it’s not musical) 😜
@mbrutus Parfitt played the white Telecaster, bought it in 1963 for £70. Rossi played the green telecaster, he bought it in 1962 for £50. It was retired a year or so ago as it wouldn’t stay tuned and he auctioned it off for charity - it raised £200k
Always love a bit of the Quo! These miniatures are really fun. I used to play bass in a heavy metal band. We sometimes did Quo stuff. Not hard, but lots of fun!
