Picked up a Fender Katana (NOT the squier version) last summer. For next to nothing! Pretty rare guitar, these days and it's in great shape. Pretty rad little guitar, plays very smooth and not a huge strain on the neck and back. Not super awesome in the studio, though, for sit down playing...but these were likely made to kick some $@!, on stage with.

No idea what they're worth. It's a neat collection piece, from what I gather. Anyone else have one of these bad boys?

Not my style, but that was a great find for a collector.

I know, I apologize! I can't add any pics directly to this forum and the only place, on the internet, they can be viewed is on my facebook. I didn't have a lot of time last night, to play with the forum imaging stuff.
Here you go:

Welcome to the Forum Bad Man Inc. Cool first post. There a many guitar gurus on this Forum that can answer questions about gear. The Forum really does like questions and photos. I use photobucket to post photos here.
I have a Stratocaster, figuritively speaking, my favorite Fender katana.
Is this video accurate?

Thanks mang. I'm at work, so can't view the video, at the moment. Will give it a look when I get home!

I have another fairly unique and old guitar. It's an old "Profile". I play it EVERY day. It's my main beast. Got it in 1989, used...so around the same Circa is the fender. I don't have any great pics of it, but would hate to tease, without any picture, like I started out, on this thread. (apologies.)

So I do have this one pic of it, I'll add more later. It's not a fender, but some weird Japanese knock off of some other style of guitar...but incredibly well built.

Play it everyday, use it for lessons and making music. It sounds incredible! Although, pretty much anything plugged into my podx3 live sounds rad. haha.

You really need to cut those string ends before you poke the kid's eyes out.

That's pretty cool. 8) I love the odd ball Fenders as much (maybe even more so, sometimes) as the traditional models.
