Check this crazy thing...

New Guitar Day? Obsessed with tone? 10 on the volume dial not enough? Celestion vs. Electrovoice? Cum in, feel the noize.

I don't actually mind it - don't like the pickguard plastic on the headstock though...

If it only had a couple of more pickups... :lollers2:

TBH...if the buttons weren't rainbow colored...like if they were just black or even blue to match the guitar color...it wouldn't be too bad.
I think the rainbow colors make it look like Toys-R-Us.

That's one helluva whammy bar.
It looks like a pry bar...like you change a flat tire with it. :P

How much did you pay for it? :biggrin:

I've vowed never to live anywhere with a colorbond fence... it came up on a guitar FB group I'm part of - yeah, the rainbow buttons! The guy may sell it to a gay guitarist on that basis. He wanted about $2,000 for it, from memory, so that's not cheap!

I've been a fan of the Spectrum for years. Ugly beauty with switches galore.
Single coil glory - I think there are a couple of p/u config version.

Love it. Look at the knobs! They're like 70s home hi-fi knobs.

He did say in the listing that the knobs weren't genuine and had been replaced.

The switches remind me of the Goya Panther II bass.
