Any news on them doing a new range of amps? Maybe a 4 watt head and a 15" accordion combo? Squier making anything nice like a 70's strat or a tele with a Jazzmaster pickup in the neck?

I was cracking up when I saw that "accordion input." I see that all the time on old amps and think to myself, "did I miss a whole era of music when people were plugging in accordions?" I mean really, do accordions even have output jacks??

Yes, if you look at European electric guitars, there is a reason why a lot of them have accordion materials. The same factories that were making lots of accordions switched to electric guitar when Rock & Roll became popular. Before there was a guitar boom, it was accordions. And it makes sense if you think about it. The accordion was portable, loud, and relatively cheap.

In America I guess the accordion is considered a dorky instrument but that isn't true at all in the rest of the world. In Africa, Latin America, and many parts of Europe the accordion is cool, if not the coolest instrument you can play.
