an acoustic with a bigsby and a rad looking pickup? YES

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts

I've always wondered how the sound board will hold up on an acoustic against a tremolo. I wonder if it is blocked up under there? Has to dampen the sound some. Anyway, very rock-a-billy cool.

The tremolo is a bigsby. it is held in place on the side of the guitar, so it does not bend the soundboard and probably works better than most acoustic bridges in the long run. I have once played this and it was really cool. I like acoustics with magnetic pickups, but honestly the tremolo on an acoustic guitar is a gimmicky feature.

My buddy Grant plays one of these in his band Cottonwoolf. Honestly, it looks really cool and I imagine it sounds great unplugged, but through a PA it sounds kind of crap...

Is imagine it needs a guitar amp to shine, maybe like a fender amp or something?

It's an electric guitar through and through, forget the PA. Presumably it's internally braced, takes nickel strings and sounds comprehensively shite mic'd up.
