Now that I look at them again, there are no visible pickups on the two axes on the left...why?

Those are Fender Marauders. The designer took the prototype with him when Fender got bought by CBS. It's considered lost. A few were built for production, but they never were sold. They were in the 1965 catalog as the top-of-the-line model, then the catalog was reprinted in Jan '66 without the Marauder. Maybe 2-3 are known to exist out of maybe 10-50 that were built.

Couldn't find any really good links beyond this:

So it *was* basically a Jag body, though. The discussion group you linked to mentioned something about slanted frets. If that is true, then it would have been fairly rare for its time (the normal fret construction of a guitar neck is not mathematically precise, causing intonation to have to be adjusted on a string by string basis to make the scales accurate all the way up the neck on each string. There are entire guitar designs that solve this problem by placing the frets at the appropriate angle to force the fingering to occur in the proper position to deliver the exact right tone).

How could I forget?? My gun!! I could drool over this baby all day and all night.

It's a custom built gun by Jim Cloward - 250 savage necked down to a 6mm (my sisters and I all have this same gun, but we have to make/ reload seperate ammo). It's got Zelenak sights on the rear, and Tiger sights on the front... Jewel trigger (ooooh yeah). The stock is aged walnut, and he made all four of our stocks out of the same piece of wood. It took about three years for him to assemble all of the parts to make us the perfect guns.
Sorry for the terrible pic....
