Drak Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 The 2 reviews I read at Harmony Central make it out to be pretty junky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 The 2 reviews I read at Harmony Central make it out to be pretty junky. Which, given the generally gushy nonsense that usually passes for a review at HC, says quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 ZimGar guitars were imported by a Brooklyn outfit and available for about $30.00-$50.00 from Kmart back in the 60s - usually short-scale, unabashedly cheap, and likely only of interest to a vintage Japanese import otaku (and there are more than a few), it was the "Esteban special" of its day. It's still probably worth $100 or so (in excellent shape) if you can find the right buyer. Mine cost 3-1/2 books of S&H Green Stamps.
