Who doesn't love an automotive tie-in...

Wonder what the servicing intervals are like, and could you do good economy picking on it?

There is no service interval because if it's an alfa it rolls out of the factory needing repairs... "Interval" implies there's a period of time it won't need servicing.

If it's built like an Alfa it won't hold tune, the frets will pop out all of the time, it will sell it's frame to a 3rd party who will sell it abroad under a different name, and for just one afternoon with the planets aligned, it will be the best sounding and playing guitar ever made.

That's at least my impression of Alfa cars from watching top gear lol. I wish I could say I drove one but in the colonies they are hard to come by.

Appears to be a gas can - taking the cigar box guitar to new heights, or new lows depending. Gas and electricity don't mix. I'm out on this one.

Have to agree - Cars + Guitars = WIN!

Guitars + Girls + Motorbikes + Cars = MASSIVE WIN !

Tony Cochran has some real winners in the weird-design catagory, but this is a real loser in my eyes.

HEY! I'll have you know I love my 1992 Alfa 75 and that it's built like a tank. Twice I was rear-ended, both times the other guy left with a fender-bender, mine didn't even have a scratch.

But yeah, that guitar, not so much...
