Danelectro has a range like this too...a gimmick too far

I like these Chevrolet, Cadillac etc safety belt guitar straps though

i agree. i like their records up untill it became 'same thing except longer' - the part of their legacy that is people trying to play like them is awful boring.

I really want to waste a load of money and time making one of these.

The engineers at Teisco were not known for innovative amplifier design, but they surmised that pointing a speaker up at a cone might produce a 360-degree sonic spread. And guess what? The “surround” sound dispersion actually works so well that I wonder why few (if any) major amp makers have experimented with that approach.

PLAYABILITY & SOUND

The Checkmate 30 is a solid-state amp that cranks a whopping eight watts through a top-facing 6" speaker. The whole thing stands about a foot and a half high, and is about the diameter of a snare drum. It has two parallel inputs— one for you and one for your bass player—and two controls for the surprisingly nice tremolo unit. A footswitch jack lets you turn the tremolo on and off, and there’s also a speaker output, which would seem to belie the whole “360 sound” concept.

The Checkmate’s clean tone rules, and I embrace the amp’s unique sonic spread by miking it from two sides of the room to get a cool stereo delay. But, man, this is a very quiet amp. It can’t keep up with even an extremely soft group without breaking up, and the overdrive tone isn’t the cool, tube-amp grind—it just gets grainy and ugly. As a result, I use my Checkmate as a practice amp, as well as an end table in my studio. Double duty!

Good grief that's ugly

It's wrong on several levels. It's revolting.
So why do I want one?

 

[therealjohnny]

I clicked dislike by mistake

My friend has an un modified Rancher, it's a really nice looking guitar.

This looks a bit odd , all that gold metal..
Still, wouldn't say no
