I think the OP is referring to the original "lost" prototype. IMO, it probably doesn't exist. As mentioned earlier Billy Gibbons supposedly acquired the original prototype but it was never verified.
I'm going to have to side with those who think they never made it out of the plant. If Ted said they were built, then they were built. He doesn't have a reason to lie, and if there would be anyone to know it would be him.
Too many have offered small fortunes to find these and have come away empty handed. Too much time has passed for it to be a single collector or collectors hoarding them from the get go.
They were probably destroyed/parted out when the model's production was cancelled. I'm sure no one had the forethought to keep them around for no reason and overtime those that did survive initially probably went to the wayside.
Though, you never know, there could be a 108 year old former music store worker that bought all six back in the 50's and has them in a display case in his basement.
The original headstock looked cool and fitted with the shape, but it was a fucking nightmare in every other way... have you seen the number of string trees they had to use on it?
I think this guitar is like the fender "swinger" its retro/modern shape makes it kinda strangely appealing.
It's not a matter of whether it's pretty or not. it's more of a taste factor. it's obviously a non standard and the people who like standard guitars most WILL NOT like this. but i like modern looking guitars and i think with the original headstock and an actual paint finish it may be a really cool looking Item and regain a lot of popularity. i was thinking a mint green or a purple.
