midiman56 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Like their suits, shoes and sporty cars, there's no denying the "cool factor" of these Italian guitars! $500 is a lot of bread, and you'd certainly want to get your hands on it first ... not all of these 60's imports were exactly a joy to play, as for the seller's pictures, all I can say is, Bellissima!

pohatu771 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It's very Hofner-esque, other than those electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual Jim is being nice,but he's right on the money IMHO! Some of these guitars won't intonate worth a damn and have very high action with little that can be done about it short of destroying whatever vintage value they have buy installing a better bridge etc..etc.... Funky...yes....cool...perhaps....worth $500.....not my $500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 It seems like I'm not alone in my love for 60's import "guitar kitsch". Every one of these I see is priced way out of line ... maybe it'll all blow over and they'll get cheap again! I did find a couple of good pics while snooping around though. Here's one that I owned around 1971 or so ... a Teisco Mayqueen. It was a semi-teardrop shaped hollow-body that would howl like a banshee if you were anywhere near any sort of amplification ... a truly horrible guitar! I wish I still had her ... LOL!
