Saw this at a local used instrument shop; with Fishman electronics for $350. If I didn't already have more acoustics than I need, I might have been tempted. It kinda makes me think of Noel Paul Stookey.

I'm going to have to go with not. Yuck....

Granted - I have never played one. That is just based on looks and what I suspect the shape will do to the tone.

I didn't ask to play it; it was high up on the wall, and Carol has seen too many guitars come into the house lately. Based on looks, it isn't my thing at all, yet I found myself drawn to it.
Is it original or a reissue? The originals are awful. I don't have any experience with the reissues.
The website doesn't have any real info on that: https://www.birdhousemusic.com/coll...la-gscra-spc-acoustic-electric-guitar-fishman

If you have $4000 laying around, they do have a 1970's Mellotron:
