Aria Sparkly guitar. It's Christmas!

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Can't let this go by. In the wake of Gavin's Aria fiesta, here's a real beaut. If you've ever lusted after a Hagstrom or DeArmond sparkly guitar but couldn't justify the readies, here's a real bargain. Aria Pro (so the quality is gonna be there) plus enough glitter to coat the missus head to toe for the annual Xmas frolic. As I write it's still at £51.00! and with less than 24 hours to go, I'd hazzard a guess it won't go into outlandish territory. Snap up a bargain and get this festive bauble under your tree. Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho!

First Act Paul Westerberg Signature Guitar

My second post of the morning - just a quickie.

Not going to say much as this Amazon customer review says it all...

"I first saw this guitar in a guitar magazine advert and thought it looked very cool. As it was an "Artist Signature" model I assumed it would be expensive and forgot about it. Some months later I happened across it on the Amazon site for $159, free shippng and thought it might be a diamond in the rough and ordered it immediately. Was very happy with it out of the box, very well made and a cool looker too! I confess I like this guitar so much I took it to my luthier and had him dress and polish the frets, set up intonation and put high end strings on it adding $60 to my cost. This is now my favorite guitar among several higher end instruments, very easy to play and sounds great through several different amps. Some might question the wisdom of spending $60 to set up a $159 guitar but even without the tweaking she is a sweet ride."

OK, "sweet rides" aside interesting eh? IT IS NOW ON AMAZON.COM at $84.99 NEW! and eBay for $75.99 NEW! That's €54 or £47 (plus shipping)

At the VERY LEAST this could be a nice little base for experimenting. It may even end up being todays Teisco of the future.
