They are pretty up front about how it's a Rat and an Earthquaker Tentacle (which is a Dan Armstrong Green Ringer). Probably any Rat -> octave up will sound very close once you've descended into the bowels of Drop A))).

Reportedly sold out in 5 hours. They had a run of 1000 units.

I mean, I would've loved to get one, but on the other hand this is a very appropriate thread for it.

I must have this on a t-shirt. Maybe a full size wall mural.

I was just shitposting, this apparently a way of describing tuning using a movable well temperament, so you end up with pre-diatonic pitch distributions based on a given key centre, i.e.Ab and G# are both consonant with C but are also distinctly different pitches.

I'm in an 8 piece band with a horn section and a keyboard player who were all music majors and speak this language. They're used to me saying things like, "Just tell me the notes in that chord, low to high. I'll find a way to play it".

Like, realistically: How hard would it be to get their QC to a point where they could get production on the level of G&L where you get a 1.3k guitar and it plays like a badass motherfucker instead of being basically a crapshoot?

Why would they spend money on QC when their current model is so profitable in the short term? :capitalism:

Filling the Void with Chaos
Was just at a guitar shop in Amsterdam which is full of pre-lawsuit Ibanez/Tokai, and even some chinese gibson knockoffs. All of which played just dandy.

The chinese Gibson hummingbird and the Ibanez hummingbird clone both played and sounded great, and I'm sorta tempted to grab the chinese one just as a "gently caress you" to Gibson.

This is ignoring the fact I have 2 real gibsons ('67 ES330 and 2002(?) L130) though, and played some stripped down Les Pauls as my mains for a while, lol.

Extremely grim and evil.
The funniest outcome to this would be if Gibson was completely successful in stamping out LP clones, but instead of buying Gibsons everyone just forgot that Les Pauls existed.

As you can see this highly authentic Les Paul Goldtop with all period-correct components, which we are selling for 50,000 bux, has been quite clearly ripped off by the defendant's company and the guitar they are selling for a mere 1,000 and their inferior workmanship is hurting our reputation
