It appears that he has !

I know the Fender is a fake ..... but I bet if you contacted www.krappyguitars.com, Kevin could build you a real working model.

Someone said "honesty". I like that one! Another big one for me: durability.

no that is extra --- but worth it, especially if you intend to string up with E/A or B/E

It took a little while, but I was able to track down all 7 of my Krappy's, on the official website. They were built between 2008 and 2014. LesPasko is basically a re-make of FretLesPaul2, with the upgrade to full-size bass tuners and a truss rod. I tune both to E/A (w/ GHS Brite-Flats, a/k/a...
