Have to wonder, if one put a back on it, how it would sound.

Like a $3000 electric violin.

Oh, I didn't look all that closely at it; that's kind of crap then really, personally speaking, to be honest.

I didn't notice it either.  Googled the term skull violin and found a site that sells it.  Then I was just being a smartass.

Sure but really, making an electric violin sound good isn't all that difficult, making a distinctive looking analogue one sound good, that'd be really awesome.

Ah well, I'll have to spend that $3000 nanny gave me for my birthday elsewhere I suppose...

Just as well, it was listed as Out Of Stock.

I am sure some artsy goth/punk/whatever the hell is cool these days band has some ugly/hot chick rocking out on one of these as we speak.

I wish this was bigger. There's a lot goin' on in those clouds. I dig the shadows and lighting on the ground, too.

Don't'cha mean "awesome"?

I learned to type on one of those. I wholeheartedly embraced computers when they came along, but there are times I still kind of miss typewriters.

There is a certain 'Earthy' feel to them.  But possibly that descriptor only fit mine, rather than yours: my first typewriter was an old fully-manual one where the force of the fingers did all the work of making the impressions (don't remember name or even brand... but I'd recognize it if I saw one).  I was VERY quick at 'hunting-and-pecking' because I typed so much.  I got a Selectric maybe a decade later.  But I finally learned to touch type on an IBM PC ([c.1987] 8086 processor? I know it had a WHOPPING 20MB hard drive in it)!

I learned on manual PCs and the modern keyboard is sooooooo much better.
