Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 My band's singer works with a guy who kept talking about this guitar he wanted to sell. He told him to send it my way, because I buy lots of stuff. He was telling me about it, a few minor problems it had, and I eventually asked the price. $75. I said "oh yeah, {censored} it, just bring it in and I'll take it." The main issue is intonation and tuning stability. The intonation is pretty rough, though there isn't a bow (though the action is much better towards the nut), so I'll need to work on it. It sounds very weird and cool, though. It's a Heit Deluxe, made by Teisco, square pole pieces and all. He said he'd bring the trem arm in soon, as well. Pretty good condition for it's age. Turns out, I almost bought the same guitar for $250 locally at a shop in town. I played it, liked it, but didn't wanna swing that cost. I guess this guy did and decided he didn't like it enough to keep. Forgot to flip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 Despite the violin shaped bass so popular (McCartny) I've never seen a violin shaped guitar before. In fact I was just at the symphony today, looking at all those violins and cellos and wondering why nobody ever made a violin guitar. ....well....guess I was wrong about that. Congratulations. Hope you can make it into a player... it sure is something you don't see every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Annoying Twit Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think the OP's (HNGD!) Violin Shaped guitar looks better than this one. The P90s just don't go with the rest of it, IMHO. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-Violin-6-string-guitar-Beatles-McCartney_W0QQitemZ250585196901QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item3a580aa965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
