Returns from running around in circles and getting much too excited

Infact I know somebody in my local music store who will probably order it in

Hang it on the wall and every time a visitor comes round, point at it and say "How cool is THIS?"

Sort of like "The Godfather" theme but, like, balls out rockin'.

Not sure what you'd do about vocals, though. I don't think this is the time of place for Cookie Monster.

My Mando cover of Hey Joe would sound awesome on that thing cranked through a plexi!

Post by: blue on February 09, 2008, 11:16:32 AM: i've got one of those!! :P

i've yet to get around to learning to play it properly, but the problem i had was that when i tried to tune it up to pitch the high string broke! and i've had trouble finding strings for it.

however, for posing in front of the mirror, it's cooler than polar bear poo!! 8)

It's tuned in 5ths so you can do 1 finger powerchords on any string anyway.
