I had to look this one up; a new word for my vocabulary:

Plonker: dope, idiot, moron, wally, pillock, dunderhead, dimwit

Thanks Corsair!

And you are correct sir!

Nice to look at...and apparently that is all the seller wants anyone to do. I was wondering if the star tuners were original to this model? Looks like a few non-original parts on this one. The Gibson style inlay on the headstock reminds me of a Bradley Les Paul I owned once in the 70's. I believe the inclusion of this inlay is what made Gibson go after some Japanese makers even more so than the bookend headstock. Here is a rare Bradley on eBay after inlay changes probably resulting from a lawsuit. This one has some classic DiMarzios loaded and they are probably worth more than the guitar:

Here is one more Bradley with yet another revised headstock inlay:
