Wonder what the T-Rex mask was used for? It’s even got blood on the teeth!

Marc Bolan?
 
Similar happened at her last school in a lower socioeconomic area of Sydney. Kid said “my cousin is a drug dealer, he’s gunna come and get ya”. Lovely hey? She kicked him out and put a complaint through the correct channels. No support “ we will discuss it with his parents”. Kid was on report or suspension every other day.
The high school I went to is now on its fifth principal in ten years. How in the world is that good for the kids?
 
Irv, aside from being a great friend, is a fantastic craftsman who does pro quality pickguards, TR covers, decals, and assorted 3D printed bits. He does have a family, a day job, bands, and a life. I’ve found that if you ask nicely, and wait your turn in line, he will make things for members here for a fair price. But we all need to remember to respect his time.

We have so many talented members here willing to help. This is an amazing place.
Thanks Marshall! It's great to be able to be a part of so many projects:D

I don't know about high-schools, but in upper education being the head (CEO/president/principle...whatever) is a stepping stone job for their careers and they only stay for a few years at best before moving on.
 
Not sure what they could have done given it was an add on by a luthier. Fill the tuner holes and start from scratch? Strings look mighty close to the edge.

A factory 5'r has the same configuration -

Not the case there. Three forced to resign by parents/school board. One “demoted.”

The students rallied to support the first in the chain. The students simply gave up after that.
