Blogging Ottinger (tim)Quilted Maple Delia
Look at this cutie (pic is also link) with a “whiskey cola” finish:
It is not surprising that this guitar would set you back about USD$2200.00. That’s pretty much what you would expect for a hot hollow-body guitar made from good woods and well-appointed. The thing you would not expect is that it comes from First Act, the same company that makes those cheapie starter guitars you see at every Wal-Mart and various other resellers. The Mal-Wart contract must have been good to them, because they have a quite attractive line of higher-end guitars at higher-end prices.
There’s another attractive
Delia version with a single lipstick single-coil in the middle position. That guitar is visible in the video:
I guess I need to learn to think differently about first act. The reviews are very good. I suppose being introduced to them in the toy aisles at MalWart had placed a certain image in my mind, but these guitars contradict all I was thinking. Good on them.
