This THING was my first electric guitar

:D

I was reminiscing with Steve on email about these and almost getting nostalgic about getting one till i found out how much they might cost (up to $200!).

This "guitar",BTW, is one convincing argument against "Vintage is best"..makes Kramer Focii look like American Overdrive, Doubleoverheadcamshaft Turbo Stratocasters (You know, the expensive ones with the posh bits).

2 inch action, chopped our fingers into little peices..and we were glad of it!


My first amp was a Realistic/Tandy/Radioshack 4(?) watt plastic thing, with a 5 inch speaker and a volume and tone control *woooooooooooooooooooooooo*. LOL.

and you try telling that to the youth of today.......

Seriously, Johan you have very good gear for a new player, treat it well!
