Written By: 80s Child on 04/28/02 at 09:07 p.m.
This toy might have been made in the late 70's, but it might have been in the 80's. I have NO idea what the name of this toy is, but i'd like to find one if anyone out there knows about (or has) one of them...
It was an electric guitar, but it was only the neck, it didnt have a body. It might have been blue plastic, though im not sure of the color. It had a plastic strip over the front with many multicolored "keys" that were set at an angle ( i think ) and you pressed them to get different tones. I'm not even sure which company made it.
Anyone out there remember this? I'd be forever grateful if someone would be willing to part with one of these, or if not, at least toss me a freebie and let me know the name.
