Pignose Branches into Guitars

As long as electric guitar players have gone through life with a guitar
case in one hand, the other hand has always been attached to an electric
guitar amp. Pignose, known for their totally portable guitar amps,
has now taken what they call the next step in the guitar evolution with the introduction
of three new guitars - acoustic, doublecutaway electric, and strat-style -
with built-in speaker, 20 watt amp, and mixer.
Based on a design from musician and entertainer Nat
Piccierilli, the Pignose self-contained guitars open up new vistas for guitar
players. With the Pignose guitars, the need for an external amplifier is
eliminated for many applications - amplified musicians are freed to
make music in virtually any situation. A variety of unique opportunities are
presented by the Pignose self-contined guitar system - it is possible, for
example, to amplify a second guitar through the Pignose guitar's onboard amp
and mixer; a microphone can be utilized with the amp and mixer so that the
guitarist can both sing and play.
"Since Day One, Pignose has been about portability, reliability, and
affordability. Our new guitars represent a strong move forward for us in all
three areas," notes Pignose president Howard Chatt. "Just as thirty years
ago the Legendary Pignose made it possible for guitar players to take their
amp anywhere, now we're giving guitar players the option to leave the amp
behind."
Suggested retail price for the acoustic and strat-syle guitar
models is $299.00; suggested retail price for the double cutaway
electricguitar is $399.00.
