I bought this privately several years ago but apparently from the guitar dealer when they closed up shop in Victoria. It was new stock from them, and I've barely played it as I got it as a backup. The color is like a black tiger stripe. Comes with hardcase. NOTE This guitar comes with the original stop tailpiece, not the Stetsbar seen in some pictures. I has brand new 9's on it. It uses a 9v battery but I don't know if that's just for the coil tap looking switches or the pickups. Both pickups say DV8. I'd say the guitar quality is similar to epiphone. I don't know much else about it or the company behind it. "The Indie Guitar Co. was formed in the UK in 2002, by Keith Willis and Ian Carnell. Up until 2007 at least, Indie products were made in three South Korean factories and built a reputation for being reasonably priced instruments that played beyond their price tag."
