I realize that it's a practically a mortal sin to get rid of it. But financial times are tough and it's on the table, so to speak. It's in pretty good condition despite heavy use for the past 20 or so years since I've had it. The volume pot has recently been stripped out but it still works. Other than that, it's got a few nicks and scratches throughout but nothing major. I'll post some pics.

I was looking for one for years and gave up in the end and got an orion guitar instead.

Any video demos? squid1035 New Username: squid1035 Post Number: 2 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Monday, November 22, 2010 - 4:35 pm:    well, i did use her in a videosong. if you're not into the song itself, you can skip ahead to 2:20 and i feature her but not in any lead type of sense. more for coloring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crtjr3JHlUs davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9885 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, November 22, 2010 - 5:59 pm:    Nice recording! Really beautiful tune! Nicely done video as well! I do wonder if that racquet was in open tuning; and I couldn't really hear the upright VC. squid1035 New Username: squid1035 Post Number: 3 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Monday, November 22, 2010 - 7:05 pm:    haha! yes, the racquet was in standard tuning. thanks for the props.
