This tool (this guitar in particular) has an incredible story.
It 's not said a day does not tell you about in detail.
At the heart of her story, the extraordinary and of course Mr. Fiordomo Bontempi (and Olda Limax and MangaLuca present during the its discovery. Pure Edward who assisted me throughout the post-discovery).
And it 'the Bontempi / Farfisa I want to talk. Not of its official history (and in fact I do not know I could say nonsense), but from what you perceive.
Without the media clamor nor particularly urgent Bontempi there for 40 years producing educational and professional bodies by specializing before and after the educational segment of the game and always devoted to musical instruments. But to think that for 40 years, many Italian musicians have taken the first steps thanks to an instrument Bontempi and 'reductive given that this company sells almost everything in the world [on ebay I saw teaching Bontempi guitars sold in the U.S. dating back to the Eighties never seen (at least by me) in Italy].
The segment of music education and 'occupied by various companies in the world: Casio and Yamaha to name the two most' notes. Among these immense and multifaceted and Japanese multinationals' managed to survive and evolve the Bontempi contributing, in my view, the ideas and the imagination of designers who make it, in many cases, unique (and sometimes even bizarre) and its products.
In my personal top 10 toy keypads are at least 3 Bontempi (produced between the eighties and nineties) while the rest of the chart if the others vying for five or six brands.
Case (rare) to be virtuous in terms of production and innovation without (at least known to me) arrogance drip INVES state or special media. Too bad you did not mention the most 'frequently as an example to inspire them.
Now to GA 8240.
Extraordinary toy replica of the Fender Jaguar but smaller by about two thirds compared to the historic guitar (a Fender Jaguar regalatemi so 'I can take pictures together and give you an idea more 'realistic size). Entirely of plastic and the hollow body. The single coil and humbucking are decorative. The guitar and 'amplified with two internal microphones. The microphones amplify any action is practiced on the pickguard (in particular) and a bit 'all over the body of the guitar (in general). Attach strings to real electric guitar.
volume slider. System tuning indicator and lever to lower octave. Jack-in microphone or other instruments. Of course, jack-out.
How 'expected, and the guitar' sound rather heavy and 'very cordoso (I would say also Fender Jaguar in this).
Unfortunately, over time the plastic handle referred to the string tension tends to sag inside.
I forgot to ask Mr. Fiordomo the date of manufacture of the guitar ... I would say the nineties.
Extraordinary.
