Quite a nice looking copy of a washburn electro acoustic with a ply top, but its listed as having "3 equalizer controls including; [b]Terrible[/b], Midd, and Bass"

I'm sure I've done a few gigs with the "Terrible" control full on

I didn't look at the video until seeing your post. Now I have watched (& heard) it - Its now quite clear exactly what the [b]terrible [/b]knob does - it appears to be some kind of distortion that makes it sound, well, terrible.

i just lost intrest as soon as the guy said "bass guitar" in the video.

there's another Rino88 ad for a guitar in which that scary bloke says it has "humberbacked pickups".

I also found a vid on one of his sites where he and his friend are painfully playing lead & rhythm on two hideously garish acoustics that sounds as good as they look.
