OK - I'll bite...
It's 1985, and I'm just shy of 16 and about to move from Boston to Florida.. I'm spending my last few days kicking around the shops near Berklee and wander into LaSalle Music..
Now, I was in the market for a new guitar - and had JUST about settled on a Kramer Baretta... but up on the wall was this funky thing.. I think they wanted 1200 or 1500 for it at the time, which to a 16 year old is a lot (the Baretta was about 800 if I recall).. so, I'm playing this wierd, fishbone looking thing.. it had no fretboard! it had a hexaphonic pickup.. and it was cool. Wierd, but cool. I kinda wanted it, but passed.
It always kinda ate at me that I didn't grab it... moreso after I found out what a Gittler guitar was, and how much they'd be worth later since so few were made.
