interesting, but the guitar probably cost VW less than the floor mats. Here's an ebay link to see how valuable First Act guitars really are.

Dude, they sell First Act guitars up front in the optometry department at Wal*Mart supercenters! I knew I recognized that name from somewhere... heh

A guitar of that quality must come with training wheels.

First Act guitars are horrible. OTOH, I love the guitar jack into the audio system! I wonder if I could build an impedance-matched input into the GM-AUX adapter I just got so I could plug in my axes? Better yet, a mixer so I could jam along with whatever's playin' on the system.Think I'll need to put in a call to GMJAP on this one!

Its just their way of returning to their roots when ppl drove a VW while smoking a joint and playing a guitar. Its in their blood.

most people who buy one will probably be trendy middle class posers who know nothing about guitars and won't realize the thing is a piece of crap. those guitars probably sound about as good and the fart cans which all the people who get one will have on their cars.

I own 3 guitars and don't claim to be an expert but I realize that this is not a good guitar (I have a Gibson SG, Taylor 410, and Fender Precision Bass).I just wish I was a better guitarist.Mike

That First Act would definitely be out of place in my collection.(Fender Strat, Strat HH, Gibson Les Paul, Talor acoustic, Ovation acoustic, and Dean acoustic.) And I wonder why I have no money for my car!

I must agree its prob a cheap made guitar. On the other hand I'm sure if you threw it to someone like Eric Clapton or Steve Vai, they could make it sound just as good as anything else. I have a 12yr old Washburn, when they actually made decent guitars.
