Location: NJ | sure the condor was equiped with the condor pickup and came with an early "synth" unit. I have had many of the synth units but only one of the guitars.
I believe the academy was using "photoflame" way before Flendor ever thought of it. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I have a Condor with the Synth (thanks Alpep). It's pretty cool.. I use it more for "hey look at this cool thing" but it is a good playing guitar too. |

Location: NJ | with all those early "synths" only about 1/10 of the settings are useable IMHO. I knew an old jazz cat that was into those things and a guitorgan to get his rig to sound like a trio he used an old maestro beat box too. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | The academy was made in Moosup CT from probably 80-82
The condor (a butt ugly red to black sunburst) was made in New Hartford around 68. It didn't last long. |
