Another "Switch" plastic guitar

Here's another one on ebay

fbs photos in the listing clearly show the three levels of the molded top- upper for palm rest, mid for strumming, and lowest for controls. The body and neck are one solid piece of "vibracell" plastic, the board is rosewood and bound. The bridge looks like it could be tremolo, but it's not. The strings load through the body, like a Tele.

I like that one. How much do they usually go for?

Na, I'm not interested in a plastic guitar.

I bid on one with an opening bid of 150, and if I got outbid I didn't care. I got it.

I'm intrigued by this. Not intrigued enough to place a bid yet, but intrigued enough to look into them. I like offbeat guitars, and this seems to fit the bill. Is it solid plastic or hollow plastic? What does the one you got sound like...how does it compare to wood? I think I'm going to have to google these when I get off work this evening.

Somebody got it for 124.50.

Here at NAMM oddities 2004 you can see some, and a lot of other weird stuff.
