Interesting guitar but miles overpriced. I always wanted to try one though - interesting frets...
By the way look at the provided power supply, it looks like a diecast box & Letraset job. I suppose that was good enough in those days.
By the way though I said the frets were interesting, not sure I'd actually want them on a steel-strung instrument... wear, replacement, etc.
(edit: there are a few odd south-east Asian instruments using angled cuts on the fingerboard... can't remember which ones they are right now though. Some Pipas have these cuts, though a different shape and a lot steeper than I'm thinking of.)
The 'pitchboard' is a total nightmare once even the smallest amount of wear starts, which happens quite quickly.
The highest I've heard of one selling for is £500, and that *was* with the original power supply and a Bond-logo cable.
