Spanky on 08/01/2011	I didn't think it sounded that far out of tune at all until he did some of the later chords. Could have also been his diminished chords and slight pull of the strings that made it sound out of tune. But no matter the noise of the place, use a TUNER if demoing someone's new introduction into custom guitars. To me, I'm thinking those guitars are expensive and then no resale value later (sorry). Different but I didn't hear any tone significance you can't from many guitars.
JTR on 07/28/2011	@ Matthew .. lmao ... you nailed it. I was stuck looking at it thinking "what does that remind me of?" I think what they are doing is cool and I want to check one out but, not the white one.. no way, I can see the drunks trying to flush it now.
Matthew on 07/28/2011	I'm not sure if I want to play a guitar that looks like a toilet seat. I think it's called drop tail for another reason.
Judy Eklond on 07/27/2011	I was there and taped this guitarist at the same time there is no way he could hear that the guitar was out of tune, there were so many people playing and loudly that you could barely hear yourself think. I don't know how premier guitars was able to eliminate all the other sound. But I know the guitarist and he is more than good.
sebastiano on 07/26/2011	out of tune? more than a bit...
