Its another brand name made by either Electro String or Rickenbacker (I can't keep it straight!). You know, just like a Ryder or Electro guitar. Very rare. By the way, it's not mine. Its owned by a guy named Gary. Th-th-thats all, folks!

It does kind of look like JH put it together for his 8th grade Science Fair. LOL!

I'd feel somewhat majestic if I owned a guitar with a name like "Symphonia Grand", but that burst color...ack!

John, not having touched yet upon this particular rare bird, I saw the post title and thought:

"Wow! this must be the big hollowbody to beat all!"

That's just from the name, you understand. And I am a fan of the Rick solids, no question. So I open the link and...

I'm suddenly 12 years old again, looking into a music store's dusty window, going, "What is that?", being confused by the color, and wanting anything that's hollow in FG.

The rarity is the attraction, absolutely. It's an historic artifact.
