... a Harmony H15 Bobkat

came across one of these for the first time at a small guitar store the other day and i liked the jag / mustang / vintage look of the guitar... as well as the very affordable price... didnt get much time to play it or screw around with features, but from what i can tell the sound is excellent and it played nice... just wondering if anyones had any experience with one of these that could give me some good honest feedback

been following a few on ebay and theyre not going for much more than $300, so i figure itd be a good investment if they sound as good as what ive heard so far

thanks

heres what im talking about for those who dont know:

also found this while looking for bobkats... seems similar if not identical... any thoughts on the silhouette would be appreciated too

    Whenever somebody responds to a thread, that thread is put on top of the thread list, so everyone will know that there's new responses. To make sure that certain threads get attention some people will write something (such as "Bump") in the thread to push it to the top of the list.

    yah i think thats what i like about them too... its got this "do it yourself" look to it... pretty much what i would draw up if i were designing my own guitar... a hybrid of a bunch of cool stuff
