[semagic]

great idea too bad it's a cheap guitar.

I saw the Nigel Tufnel commercial last night. That one is funny.

Maybe if I bought a guitar and got a free VW, then I'd go for it!

[Carbuff]

That made me want to go out and rent spinal tap. I bet its out already. Maybe I'll just buy it.

[sully]

the mrs. leased a rabbit yesterday. i was hoping we'd get the guitar b/c it's free, but not on a lease. rats.

first act has had some excellent GW reviews, though.

It just kind of dilutes the brand when you see First Act guitars at Wal-Mart in those window box packages.

I say both. Nigel had much better tone in my opinion.

I love the part when they ask you that if you could play like Slash you could have one. I have been able to play like Slash before Slash was actually Slash. Do I get a free VW??
NOPE.
Its a stupid promotion but I do agree that it gets people to talk about VW.
Good thing for them because they have really been on the DOWNWARD SLIDE!!

I'll buy a VW, if I can get a "free die" cast of a VW
and the guitar in camo?
What kind of amp do you plug into in the car?

[sully]

it's kinda misleading, really.... in the glove box, there's a 1/8" input jack. you can plug your ipod into it and it will go thru the stereo. you'd have to put an adapter on the guitar cord for it to work. i'd guess you'd just grab a distortion pedal and you'd be good to go. i'll try it this week and report back.

Nigel is my hero... see the sig!
Love the commercial... the guitar is still a POS.

Sully...you're supposed to get it with a lease. Read the intro paragraph on the first page of the mini-site.

http://www.vwrocks.com/

If the dealership tells you any different, send them to that webpage and demand your guitar.

Also...from what I read...it's a custom limited edition. Not a high end custom shop First Act model, but not a WalMart First Act, either.

Look for them to start showing up on ebay in about a month!!!

And film it, I'd love to see that on youtube!

Yep... the ad clearly states "Whenever you buy or lease...".
Demand that axe!

I wonder how long it will take for them to start showing up on ebay?

Oh wait... they are already there... http://cgi.ebay.com/VOLKSWAGEN-VW-EL...QQcmdZViewItem
