I have one of the first run of that model.

I like it a lot, the neck is superbly playable. I like its unusual  
shape.

But the fx processor makes it  a bit heavy for the guitar's size and  
when using the wall-wart it heats up quite a bit so that after awhile  
I have to put something as a buffer between the guitar and my body.  
The speaker has a tendency to distort too easily when overdrive or  
some amp styles are used but the patches can all be tweaked and  
massaged to alleviate that but I mainly run overdrive stuff thru  
another amplifier.

I have never tried busking with it but it is a fun guitar.  The more  
recent version apparently has mainly just added drum machine patches.

Pignose also makes a guitar with built-in speaker/amp.
