Location: Paris/France | Hi,
There's a KA-14 Academy guitar for sale on Ebay:
Academy KA-14
This guitar seems to be like a "Matrix" with the "Academy" brand.
Does anyone have some informations about this model??? I've never seen this guitar before.

I wouldn't mind having one for a beach/pool guitar . . |

PLASTIC?????????
No wonder these guitars get such a bad rap.
The top is made from the same compound that the bowl is made from, exact same material, just a different colour. |

sorry. :rolleyes:
To be honest, I didn't know it was the same material, . . looked so different.
Are these things still being made?, 'cause they're GREAT little guitars! . . .
Excuse me now while I go and kneel on some bowl paint for a couple of hours as pennance for using the "p-word" . . . |

One could be made using the newer "Tiny Bubbles" bowl material? Micro sphere Kamaninium!
That could be a good thing! |

Ah, plastique... probably accounts for the EXPLOSIVE sound...
Excuse me, have to answer the door, sounds like the CIA again...

I've lived in Florida for the past 27 years (Born in Orlando nearly twice that long ago) and I just want to go on record that I have never had a Flamingo lawn ornament. Nor have I've ever had a neighbor who had a Flamingo lawn ornament.
But if you were to get just about anything that moves in the wind, the current rage being plastic freaking flowers, you could be:
Livin' large in Lutz
Besides, no way I'm playing no stinking pink guitar. |

I was concerned about plastic trees, after all this, I am now concerned about plastic rain FORESTS, we are not facing global warming, we are facing global PLASTIFICATION, and it's obvious who is causing it. OFC Plasticophyles are looking mighty suspicious. I'm beginning to suspect some of you have astroturf in your cow pastures and ponies shod in Delrin.
Excuse me while I eat my plastic apple and walk my plastic Jack Russell terrier, they are so, like, neat compared to real messy live things. |
