A hot plate would've been less cumbersome and a bit easier on the back, don't ya think?
On the scroll topic I've been loving these Premier/Multivox things.
I just picked up this First Act VW Garagemaster. It came with a new Volkswagen in the early 2000s and came with a cable to plug into the stereo system. Actually a pretty well built guitar and plays and sounds pretty darned good.. Has an onboard 9v EQ with an overdrive switch and treble/mid cut. Since the pics were taken I've cleaned up the frets and fretboard and gave it a complete set-up.

Even though most were barely playable I have a bit of a soft spot for those chrome pick-guard imports.Don't own it now but had a Winston like this for my first electric guitar when I was a teen...
The worst part of that thing was the cheap machine heads. Once it was in tune (with a pair of vise grips) it sounded pretty good. Being young and living in a small town with no music stores around and no internet, ownership of that thing was short lived.Even though most were barely playable I have a bit of a soft spot for those chrome pick-guard imports.
At least they made an effort to come up with different body designs instead of the usual Fender/Gibson knock offs.
BTW, a local music store owner once told me the chrome on the Japanese imports was far superior to the American made parts.
