Title: Hmmmm ... "Tribute" Guitar on eBay
Post by: brb9911 on May 04, 2008, 10:43:59 AM

Could it be a Phiga? Seller hasn't said who made the guitar, but does make some other rather spurious claims here:

Definitely a Phiga and, considering that the list for a Bolt is $1500 new, even with the added synth connector, a bit overpriced IMHO.  If you notice in the listing, the first question asked about maker and some other questions.  The seller ignored the maker question in the answer.  I emailed with the maker question only and got back an answer that said the name on the headstock looked liked Priga.  I've played one of these.  Nice guitar for the money, but better than Alembic?  Great sense of humor!
