From George Gruhn May 5th 1999 Appraisal :
This particular instrument was built for the Japanese collector Akira Tsumura. The instrument was named "The Glitter Girls". This guitar is featured in Tsumura's book entitled "1001 Banjos". According to the original owner it has no serial number. There is some discoloration on the back of the neck from having been in contact with a guitar stand for approximately 10 years. This instrument features a glitter plastic back with painted females and fancy tree-of-life fingerboard and peghead inlay, and elaborate carving and panting of the top of the instrument. This guitar features multiple bindings around the edges of the body similar to that used on the Les Paul Custom model. The guitar is setup with three gold plated humbucking pickups and a badass bridge.
