    Default What the heck do I like about this guitar and amp...but I do.

    I'm not bidding so anyone please feel free. I can't imagine that this guitar would play very well but I love the look of the carved up, falling apart, old guitar and the little box amp that looks like an old-time radio. I'd also never pay that price, but it may well be worth it. I'm just not educated enough on what this stuff is going for.
    My songs....enjoy! (hopefully )

    I like the look of the amp, not the guitar so much.

    In Soviet Russia, guitar wanks you.

    That amp has a cool look to it, though. God knows how it sounds, but it looks cool. In a hipster everything-that-looks-old-is-automatically-cool kinda way.
    Every love that made me lose my reasoning. Every chord that made my conscience ache. Every day spent counting hours. Well, none of them comes close to singing back a song inside my head.

    I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

    I think this is way fuglier than the Jesus guitar. The Jesus guitar looks much better in person, although yup, it is still fugly.

    A can of black spray paint would set that thing right. Harmony Rockets are horrendously cheap, but fun to play. I just sold mine not too long ago for $150, and it was in about that shape, maybe a bit worse...but all original. I'd say $450 is too much for that "blues rig," but for $250...I'd probably get it myself.

    I wouldn't pay $50 for the guitar (maybe if it weren't painted so horrendously ugly). Not sure about the amp, maybe $50 - 100 TOPS.

    $450 for the rig???!!!!!

    No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
