They have one of those in Music Ground. Not really decided on it.

How much? The two-tone body looks as kool as fuck imo, love the old radio bakerlite cloth parts as well.
It was a guy in your neck of the woods that put me onto these Eric, 'Wags' of Black Grape/Paris Angels used one.
Apparently he used it to record 'Kellys Heroes' and most of the 'Its great when your straight' album. Love his tones on that album.

Bizarre - the weirdest, most obscure guitars in the world, then I post twice about them in the space of a week; they've got a baritone one in the shop I got my vibrochamp from, and as a big baritone fan, I thought I'd give it a whirl; it sounded lovely - a little too stratty for my tastes (in its defence, it does have three strat pickups and a five way switch), and I quite liked the "thumbs-up" headstock for its sheer idiocy, and the offset neck profile (the meat of the neck is nearer your thumb, if that makes sense) was very clever - surprised more people don't do this. If it was any other colour than midnight blue, I may have been tempted. I am, however, very vain, and thought it looked shit. If it's one of the early, made in the USA ones, and you can get past the looks, then it's a great guitar.

... and now I'm thinking I could buy it when I get my birthday baritone money, strip it and respray it. Hmmm...
