you're right....killer prices for a good guitar.
I think I paid more (or close to the same) for just the iDea preamp when it first came out.
It's like getting the guitar for free. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Got the preamp and downloaded all available backing tracks from the website. Noodling along with the tracks is a great way to spend time working on technique without wasting the time of the rest of the band. Personally, I go for the Latin and blues rhythms. I'm still trying to figure out what to do on the rock stuff. |

You know, for under $300 with the iDea preamp, these are just a freakin bargain!!
Plays nice and sounds pretty good. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Stephen, try sticking the iDea preamp in something a bit more upscale, like the OFC-II. Its a nifty little unit. The fact you get the guitar with it is just icing. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Brad, I bought the iDea preamp when they first came out and paid almost as much for the preamp alone as Justin did for this combo.
I actually had my iDea in the 2080D 6 string last night through the GBenz. After a bit I swapped it back out for the VIP that came with the 2080D.
Interesting comparison of the sound between the 2 preamps.
OMA....my son wanted/got the grey one.
Again, I have to say these are just a freakin bargain for what you get!!!
I ordered Justin's on Friday from Al and had it on Tuesday.
Great price and great service! |

Location: Nashville TN. | I got black it arrived after I picked it up as my UPS driver failed to ring my door bell again!
I got black.
For the price its good guitar.
Sounds OK ....
Good for the current price but I would not paid $599 for it.
My ear may be spoiled by the USA guitars.
Made in China.
fit and finish is good
Having to plug in to turn on is a pain.
Its great deal at the sale price.
I like it. |

Y'know if you just plug something into the Headphone jack, the tuna works...
But you still have to plug something into it, and it is a pain.
Same with the VIP though... |
