ARVC-01

Senses=sight, sound

General Description=From a front faced, straight on view of the target, it
is a tan / biege miniature six string acoustic guitar toy. However, the
object is also a brush on the opposite side. It is some kind of guitar/brush
novelty toy.

No actual strings or parts, just the painted on representationso of the
sound hole, strings, fret board, pick guard and string pegs on the head.

The reverse side is blank biege plastic with black, medium length,
soft/stiff brush bristles which make the typical swishing sound when
'brushed' against.Some human hair appears stuck in the bristles. There is a
lot of dust down between the black bristles.

On the front guitar image on the body I can read "Nashville, Music City
USA". The neck, head stock, and pick guard are black as is above mentioned
letterings. There are two metal hooks on the layered / beveled edge of the
flat guitar; each is where the hooks for a real guitar strap might be -
this object is intended to hang on something by being secured at these
spots. The body of the guitar has a redish brown 'trim'. The head stock has
two holes thru the sides where red plastic pegs appear as the actual head
stock string pegs would on a real guitar. The top hole is clearly visible as
its red peg is missing.

Size=pocket-sized

weight/heft=light
rigidity=sturdy
opacity=opaque
texture=smooth
material=synthetic
familiarity=unfamiliar
rarity=uncommon
complexity=simple
age=used
sound=other
smell/taste=neither

body=The target could fit in a typical pocket and since it is a brush might
be put there.

Since the front face is flat and smooth I said smooth above - however the
bristles tho soft do give a sense of roughness.

While I am familiar with both guitars and brushes I consider such a novelty
item as unfamiliar and thus uncommon.

Sound associated with image of guitar as well as actual sound of bristles.
