Stereo outputs, glued AND bolted neck, similar goofy 70s lines and highest grade workmanship for probably around the same price you'd get a Sonex for.
Oooooh, dig it matey;
Pretty rare though it'd seem :[
Yeah I just checked...used to be they could be had as low as 350...now it seems you're lucky to find one for under $600. Still exceptional value compared to what you'd get from Fender or Gibson for the same money. Ovation electrics were top tier USA made boutique stuff in their day.

this fucking thing >
it's a '70s kimbara(?), apparently. the guy's been trying to sell it for aaages, either that or it sold and is now being punted on.
also, a boy selling this '94 ibanez talman for £350 (although i guess it's pretty much a strat):
and a guy selling this for £275 ono. it's the one with the cool teisco del ray-esque headstock (not this guitar- it has a stop tailpiece. couldn't get the link to work):
(all edinburgh/glasgow listings)

I don't know why but this is cracking me up, it reads like a Chris (Simpsons Artist) sentence
That Kimbara(?) is pretty nifty, although I feel I'd need to have a broadsword on my back to fully pull it off.

Yeah, it's pretty cool, it looks like an East European copy of a Yamaha SG-1000 or SG-2000. It probably isn't though.

Just follow your heart, Doog. Buy it, and then when you're done with it sell it to me.

Lozzle, it's a bit too much for me Freddo; you have at it.
Just realised how much I like the first model of Jet Kings, gonna have to keep an eye out (maybe even when we're in the US), I think this is the strongest contender at the mo:

Nice choice Andy....probably a good idea to buy one while they're still rare yet cheap....they seem to be holding their value quite well.
I remember liking the few I've played, however the unfinished neck felt too affinity strat like in my hands. Given the aesthetic, I feel the neck should have been finished the same as the body.

Yeah but the Jet King is obviously cheating. It's a perfectly well manufactured modern guitar that probably plays and sounds great. They just made it look a bit kooky. Like that Fender Pawnshop series of monstrosities.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up dude; I'm not too fussy when it comes to such things (my main Strat thing has the satin-y Jagmaster neck) and often enjoy something totally different so it's not really a downside for me.
Too bad all the other models don't quite do it for me; gonna have to scour the globe now.
DUDE AND 'DETTES: IF YOU SEE AN IBANEZ JETKING JTK1 FOR SALE ANYWHERE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
