Model 1 Prototype in Caribbean Burst

This guitar is the first "Model 1" ever built. I place the "Model 1" in quotes like that because at the time it wasn't even called that yet! This guitar will always hold a special place for me as it single-handedly created the design aesthetic that drives the Raygun Guitar models to this day.
