I bought this guitar while on business in Chicago. I have to admit I was more than a little peeved when Jerry Jones slashed the price of this model. Actually, I'm still not quite sure if that's what happened or if Make'n Music just screwed me on the deal.
Still, it's a cool little oddball instrument, and now I can play "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" and "Don't Come Around Here No More," and stuff like that.
