I just thought the shape was cool and different from what anybody else had, and I loved the green/black fade coloring. I couldn't play guitar worth $#it (OK on school orchestra viola) but I kept it until 1995 when I put it on consignment. Made a good friendship with a pro musician out of that so it's all good.<br /><br />A bit of trivia - I spotted this guitar only once again, used in a promo photo for the band Presidents of The United States. One of them was holding this guitar up in the air. Probably just a prop guitar because they were all standing in a few feet of swamp water from what I recall.Charlie Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578437019258694296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-19387742091133909662012-12-28T14:03:18.654+00:002012-12-28T14:03:18.654+00:00Chunky is good though, right?

And later regretted...<br /><br />$850 may come off a little steep, but given its rarity, $20 bucks isn't going to cut it any more! Ah the 90's. Wouldn't it be fun to walk into one of those Mega Guitar outlets, tell them your guitar needs a setup and then break this out of the case!? They absolutely wouldn't know what to DO with it! <br /><br />Marshall_Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813579074330812057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-10886904181615090422012-12-28T01:36:49.789+00:002012-12-28T01:36:49.789+00:00Bought one of these in 1992 for 20 bucks!

Thought it would be every bit as ungainly as the Vox/Hofner semi's.<br /><br />If my liking it makes me a "retro rocker", then so be it. The only real drawback I can think of is; everyone wants a shot at these so you bring into the bandroom or friend's place and it'll be the last time you get to touch it!
