It's at my friend's pawn shop.
I walked in and spotted it right off because it's different.
I got closer and I could see that it was different.
Looked closer and saw that it was carbon fiber, so I picked it up and started playing it. I was stunned.
It has this built in chorus, reverb and delay setup similar to the Yamaha stuff, but made by L.R. Baggs.
The battery was dead though, so none of that worked... so we started looking at it to see how to replace the battery and couldn't figure it out.
It sounded and played fantastic though, just straight up.
We looked at some videos that didn't help.

So I went home and did a deep dive and it turns out, it uses a regular cell phone charger to charge a lithium battery.
I went right back up to his shop, and we got a charger and let it charge for an hour.
I started playing it.
The effects work internally in the guitar and sound great. You don't even need to be plugged into an amp.
It has a tap so you can adjust the speed of the delay.
I never even plugged it into an amp and it was loud.
It's a really great player.
To answer your other question: Hell no, nobody ever seen me with a mask.. and yeah, I think I'm going to buy it.

Now that you've found such a mythical guitar, maybe you can finally finish writing that song, baw.

Which one?
Really though, writing wise, it's done.
I like it. At this point, I'm just trying to get it right in attitude and sound.
It's got to have the groove, the humor and the truth all rolled in and it has to come across.
I've never worked on anything this hard, but it's paying off in a lot of ways.
I'm using jazz melodic minor and diminished scales, with a Bossa Nova Rhythm, and trying to keep it country. I never thought I would be doing that.

The Title of this song is " True Horror Story"
I posted the song on my Soundcloud right after I first wrote it and it's still there.
Lyrics are almost still the same, musically though, it's a different animal now.
I will post it here soon with a couple of others that are more normal.

Have piqued my interest. What kind of price is one new? This one at a pawn shop? Might check Reverb.

From what I think I know... The new models have different controls and are more like a smart phone.
Price around $1,200.

Those are cool little guitars, believe they are Plekd and everything.

They sound very good just on their own, for what they are.

The one I was playing was a full size dreadnaught 25.5" scale

yep, frets are about perfect too.
The action is higher than I like ,but the neck is laser straight, I can fix it with the nut and saddle.
I don't care for the rounded back( It's similar to an Ovation, but not as deep), they always slip away from me, if I'm sitting down playing. That's 95% of the time, BUT I saw a good solution that I will use.
It's an incredible sounding guitar.
