Annoying Twit Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Honesty in advertising award for this year. At least as far as the listing title is concerned. Not quite sure about the body text which says it looks good, but the metal curves are IMHO an interesting idea which could look fantastic in a more refined instrument.

Grangur Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Interesting concept. Poor execution though. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Like a low-budget Gus... I'd have been tempted to bid if it hadn't been a 4-stringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's really that crap it'll always keep me warm for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The tuners alone are worth £10. Go for it. All you need is some old strings to test it out. We look forward to seeing the report with recordings after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think it's currently priced about right at 99p... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
