Condor is a synth guitar.
Basically a Tornado with a Innovex Hammond synthesiser.

I have one but haven't had it working as yet.
The cable between the guitar and synth is just about impossible to find.
That's all I need!!!

Gee AJ, you answered while I was composing this! :p
Your link is better... But here is mine anyway.
-----------------------------
There was one on d'Bay that they keep trying to sell for $2K.
It might be re-listed again... But here is one of the completed listings.
That particular one has a synthesizer that goes with it.
But this is what one looks like...

and the synth looks like this...

Anyway... I believe that a Condor is kinda like a Thunderhead.
But it might have been made overseas... Kinda like the GTX and Ultra guitars.

See Thunderheads...

If it is in good shape, that would be a Deal.

I think Al might have a GSM.

Art the Condor in your pics has a non original lead, soldered directly to the pins on the pickup. Probably what I will have to do.
It is a 7 pin din plug into the GSM but a special plug into the pickup.

I paid about $500 for the guitar a couple of years ago, in "as new" condition.
I don't think it had ever been played.

The GSM was around $400.

Just replace the bridge with a standard one and you have a Tornado

Question-Where is Dave anyway?

Answer- Gallerinski put him in a Tupperware container and placed him in the music room on the floor next to the Standingovation. :D :p :cool: :eek:

"Gallerinski put him in a Tupperware container and placed him in the music room on the floor next to the Standingovation..."

Then these painters he had hired stole the container thinking there was a shiny bowl 12-string inside. ;)

and someone else also bidding AJ.

I hope you plan to bid high and win this puppy cause you aren't likely to ever see another one.
