PGG-100

Guitar with Built-in Amplifier

Pignose

Pignose has just introduced the PGG-100 mini guitar with a built-in amplifier. The PGG-100 offers a variety of features, including six adjustable saddles, a humbucking pickup, and a tortoise pickguard. But most amazing, is the built-in one-watt amplifier, complete with metal speaker grill cover and headphone jack. The whole thing is powered by a 9-Volt battery. The Pignose PGG-100 comes in three classic finishes, and for $475, represents a real bargain for something that is just so damn cool!
