@MikeS ; you must have edited your post, the link is broken.  Please repost, I'd enjoy that vid.

Don't know why it does that. Should be fixed now though.

Anyone remember Heartfield guitars? They were, as far as I remember, a fender offshoot brand in the 1990s. Their RR9 model had a built in distortion circuit.  I haven’t seen one of those for a long time.

Heartfield guitars were a collaboration between Fender and a Japanese factory in attempt to win back sales lost to the Ibanez RG.

I associate the RR9 with Mike Keneally of Frank Zappa’s final touring band.

I always mix up Heartfield and.... Starfield (had to Google that, as usual).  Both seemed to pinch a few endorsers from Ibanez - Vinnie Moore played Heartfield, Richie Kotzen played Starfield.

I agree about the mix up of Heartfield and Starfield

Damn those slack CBS era neck pockets.

I was looking for another video I’d seen a few months ago, but this looks better.

^ Looks like that pic I found was a Kimbara rather than a Fresher.  But perhaps they're the same thing under a different name (Edit:  seen the video now and yes they are one and the same).

Here's a wee vid of the Condor/Assama

Guitars with built-in effects are right up his street - obsolete AND shite! 

There's some truth in that...
