One wacky looking space age device. I see that it's mostly Valco guts. Has anyone ever played or heard one? If so, what would you compare it to?
1953 Fender Stringmaster T-8; 1970 Emmons D10; Excel S10; 1949 Magnatone Lyric; 1938 Gibson EH150 Amp; Vintage Voltage Lil' Nuke Tube Amp; 1961 McIntosh MC60; Fender Super Twin. Tubes Rule!

It's all Valco guts, because Valco built them.
That model has under-string single-coil pickups. It has a darker, fuller sound than other models with the string-through pickups.
