Location: Upper Left USA		I was going to say it was one of the "concepts" thrown around when the solids needed more support.

If you turn it upside down its a bit like a Hobby Horse.

Sweet chunk of Mahogany there.

Location: Connersville, Indiana		I really like the guitar because it is different. I like being different. Instead of a ibanez to me it appears as a rough attempt to battle the gibson firebird. It seems a lot of the solid bodys were an attempt to compete with gibson, I guess, thats what I would say.
Love the guitar

Location: michigan		Mr. Ovation, did that guitar become the
Fernandes travel guitar with one pickup and the built in amp (I have one of those), the name slips my mind though. I know they are a hit in Japan. The shape is very different, but a similar concept.
