hmm... i wonder if its still made in the far east by children... c'mon?

EDIT2:

the bambusa name makes it sound like its MIA, but surely its not. wtf with the USA part then?

I have a bunch in my front yard that my mom smuggled back from the Philippines, it literally does grow like its taking viagra, or plant rogaine or something.

It looks like the guitar's as much glue as bamboo though

Lots of First Acts actually look cool. If I were an impressionable youth attempting to learn, I'd probably pick one over a Squier... Best Buy has them for the playing, but never bothered to pick one up.

no, no fucking way.
i built a guitar almost identical to that(style and general body shape) for and with a guy phil about.... 18 months ago.
thats shit. there is probly no corrolation but godamnit that looks just like his(minus the headstock and the germ styled carve he did on the edges.

They've been using that shape for longer than 18 months. That Volkswagen guitar had the same body shape I think.

edit: $400 WTF!?!?!

I wanna chop onions on it with a ginsu knife. Or maybe have several of them sitting perpendicular to one another and have Paul Pierce do a layup over them.

good idea!

i wanna grow bamboo in my yard. how useful!

something about it reminds me of the danelectro paradigm. maybe because danelectroes also look like they are made out of a cutting surface?

I want to jam the headstock in my lawn and light the body on fire for some reason? Maybe play some badminton next to it?

See, if it were made by Danelctro, it would make perfect sense. Where is the first cardboard guitar?

I played one once, and liked it more than many things.

Damn you having a fancy stainless fridge

i was thinking more along the lines of the cream enamel (or whatever it is) type of doors. the ones that we poor people (or renters, also poor) have. fancypants.

It's not enamel.

It's steel painted white. You clearly haven't rented a place where even the fridge has been beat to shite and scuffed up. Posh bastard.
