Location: Western Sonoma County | Yes, I was bitten again by the acquisition bug. A dusty, beat-up Celebrity iDea popped up on the local Craig's. Two hundred dollars, some polish, a new set of strings, a new battery, toss the shims, and I'm set with a playable plastic oddball and the cool, tricky iDea preamp that's a fun diversion. While it feels like an O, one can definitely sense the lesser quality of a Chinese model. I suppose as an entry guitar it would do well, but I'm spoiled by my US collection. So, a reasonable beater for around the pool. Just need a spare 8-pin preamp to stuff in the hole so I don't ruin the iDea doodad. |
