if you want a funky amp that sounds good but is super cheap, i can look out for local Neilson's
he's a local engineer who makes amps for shits and giggles, so they're often in odd cases, and super cheap

Thanks,I am not really looking to buy an amp,I was just admiring the ones at Specimen. Those combo's aren't really for sale anyway.

After seeing this I really kind of dig the idea of an electric with a parlor guitar shape. It looks pretty swanky!

If I had any building ability, it would be neat to build one much like the top. Single pickup, and a piezo bridge. Then have a single knob to blend the two signals.

Perhaps make it look just a tad less gibson SGesque. Binding, dark sides, spruce looking top. Goofy pseudo (blatantly non)acoustic.
