Mann Guitars (who he?) copy of a Ripper

Mann was a Canadian import brand known for their range of MIJ copies in the 70s. They were never sold in the UK.

Which is cool because this is neither a Mann nor is it Japanese - it's an Italian-made Melody from the same era. A bit more interesting than the MIJ Grabber copies and a bit less common - mostly because they all seem to fall to bits, like this one is doing.

Interesting to see but he's having a laugh starting this at £200 with its comedy collapsing neck. :rolleyes:
