/rimshot
Anyway, there's a swinger on Philly's craigslist
Teh Swinger
And in case it gets pulled:
"1969 Vintage Fender Swinger Guitar/not original case.
In very GOOD CONDITION. Barely used, sat in my closet for past 15-20 yrs. Not a Guitarist, I found it in local shop years ago and thought it was cool looking. Rare find!!!! If interested call me 215-279-2993 or email me at
Cyclonecoach1@comcast.net or
lisastone56@yahoo.com. Thanks, Bruce "
I got mine for $700, and I think the one at Chicago Music Exchange is around 2k...
I'd be surprised if it sold.

That's one of the ugliest guitars ever, nothing about it is pleasing to the eye.

I totally disagree... the only thing I don't like is the headstock. Slap a pre-cbs on there and she's a beaut.

i don't get the appeal. a musicmaster is much nicer.

I like that it's unique, but then it also seems like the Musicmaster's deformed cousin, so it's one of those what ever floats your boat situations.

I was first introduced to the swinger when I saw a picture of it in a group shot of fender guitars circa '69 in a fender calender around 2000. I immediately fell in love with the body shape. Awesome.
It really is 'whatever floats your boat' sorta thing.
After years of searching, I finally put up a 'want it now' ad on ebay, and about 3 days before it was about to expire, I got a response. Dude wanted to sell it for $700. I immediately send him a down payment.
It's a cool guitar, def. a stage guitar, but still cool.

Yep. And it does for me.
Sort of like these, ugly as sin but it calls to me...

Fuck Swingers. They look like an abortion where the doctor had not been provided a cup holder for his Dr. Pepper and went "fuck it".

It's not unique. They made more than one.
