I don't want to buy one from the website, I want to buy it from a shop.

Lol you crack me up

I've never heard of them before even though they started making them in 1952 and Hendrix played one??? They look very cool, I'd have the blue or green



£1000 is a bit steep, how did you hear about them Monkey Star? Have you seen one irl?

The quality (at least in the 60s) sounds top class, apparently they cost twice as much as Strats. I'm now dying to see the Double Neck that Hendrix used on Spanish Castle Magic but no joy on Google. I didn't even know he ever played a double neck. All I can see are these two, second one is lovely. Turns out it is the first one that Hendrix used on Spanish Castle, the Joe Maphis model. I added a pic of it in colour, very nice.

If they still sound as horrible as when the Ramone's used them, then they're an ornament.

Oohhh that would be a drawback, although it doesn't make sense considering how much they spent on them, how could they end up with crap pups

Johnny Ramone had the best guitar sound in the fucking world.

Ramones, MC5, Hellacopters etc play them. I love those bands, Johnny Ramones tone was amazing, Nick Hellacopters is better.

Axelord/Mustang (BRDS/Holy Mountain) has one and it sounds great.

I like that, nice bit of American rock n roll, the guitar sound is sweet too

[monkey star]

They are Swedish.

[Treetop Flyer]

I knew that, I was talking about the music

[monkey star]

I automaticaly attach that sound with Scandanavian rock n roll.

Ok I didn't know they were Swedish but it still sounds American. Didn't know there was a Scandinavian rock n roll sound.

Where are this band Demons from? Pity about the quality but it sounds like a brilliant gig
