Banana Custard Canary NGD...

What's Hot
So my LPJ went one way and in came this sunny little beast...

Italia Maranello Speedster



I've always liked the look of these, and I have to say that having now plugged it in proper the Youtube demos don't really do it justice. Fantastic tone on this thing - would be an awesome slide guitar if the action were a little higher (and if I played slide)...

Only downside is that it's quite neck heavy. It nosedives the minute you let go of the neck. Other than that, I love its minimalist, retro vibe.

  • Nice!  For all of my Gibson/Fender worship, I do like some of the fringe guitars out there.

    I've always liked the look of these apart from the stripes.

    Love the look of those, but when I see anything without a top horn I assume it won't balance on a strap.

  • Cheers all - will take it to jam night tomorrow and see how it performs.

    @hobbio - didn't they do well with that? It's that fast that it leaves a blur behind... ;) It was sort of a rush job with my phone.
