What the???

"The Guitar itself is basically from the Tornado / Condor range of epiphone"
Epiphone!!

There have been a few on ebay, I was losing bidder on one last year.

Like to get my hands on one as well as the synth.

These are indeed cool and I actually had the chance to play one. Finding one with the guitar, organ and connecting cord all in one place and all working is a rare event.

Anyway, in my opinion YES it is cool. But toi be honest it looks a lot better than it really works. The idea is interesting but the execution was primative (after all it was 1970). The best I can describe it, it sounds like playing an organ with your toes. For historical purposes it would be nice to have one, but expecting to use it as a musical instrument may be a but optimistic.

I recently aquisitioned the starter kit:


I plan a Benedetto style taile piece but I'm not sure about which pickups to use.

Do you think an old G3 Mac would fit in there?
