THIS IS A REGULAR GUITAR, NOT A LAP STEEL. I would like to keep it but need to sell this kooky looking guitar to help fund a steel. From Italia the PR: "Echoing one of the most collectible and rare 60’s guitars but with sound and playability demanded by today’s musicians, this is the guitar for you if you dare to be different! Individualism is what “Italia Guitars” are all about. With its “Ultra Sparkle” carved top and binding complementing the pearloid body and neck, it will be noticed." I wish I could say this guitar has been a "babe magnet" for me but that has not been the case. Gover tuners.
$425 plus shipping. No case but I will double box this and pack well.

Totally cool guitar, reminiscent of the 60's Goyas.

Yeah, they are Wandres. But that guitar looks a LOT like them, especially the control plate.
Buddy is the guitarist for Emmylou Harris, most famously. He has been an award winning guitarist, artist and producer for a long time. He is a great favorite of mine. |

Great looking guitar!
Like Richard says, it looks a lot like the old Goya guitars.
I own a blue sparkle Goya that is a gem.

Hi Steve,
Here's one to get started ...
The back of the body and both the front and back of the neck are white pearloid.
The fingerboard is transparent Plexiglass-type plastic.

Howdy Kirk,
Yes It Is, This is a very well put together guitar. It has one of the best bolt on neck joints I've ever seen. It looks and feels like a set neck. I hope this Info Helps!.
Here Are Some Video's to show how it sounds.
