The Ultimate Keytar


Who needs a Syntar when you can have this! Click here for more shots via this auction.

Details:
"This is a vintage 80's toy called Hit Guitar. The neck piece straps to your hand allowing you to play a twelve note scale! The guitar part straps to your belt. This strange devise is hard to find and should be circuit bent with a pitch pot so you can tune it fat and low! However it does have a tone knob on it which is actually a tune knob. You can bend the pitch up or down and when you let go of it the note you're playing will snap back to it's original pitch. This has an analog chip in it and will make an excellent stage instrument if it falls in the right hands...I'm only selling this cause I'm swimming in heaps of gear I've collected and something must go! It works well (I played a few farewell solos today) but the battery cover is missing. Snap this gem to bend up if you like it!"

BTW, if you know anything about the "analog chip" feel free to comment. I'm guessing it's not actually analog, but who knows...

  6. dude, honstly, if i was unlucky enough to be caught on stage playing that "toy" i would mostly be either beaten up or put in a striaght jacket, unless of course i was pulling a "jimi" and lighting it onfire on stage in which case people would get mad that i had stolen some 5-year-old's guitbombintain... anyone who can come up with more random insults to add to this string gets MMAADD PROPS!
