    It was actually a guitar that a UK guitar magazine had made up as a April fools story in the 90's, I think Kramer made a few after some people asked about it.

    Build it and they will come LOL



    In all seriousness I do like the Moderne, as a piece of Mid Century Modern design it ticks all the boxes. If they'd given it the right paint and pick guards it would have sold I think, lets face it the Fender jag looks like a counter top spill in outline, but it was presented the right way with colours and such that people liked. When they bought back the V and Explorer they had more options and they sold.
