Interesting… but I don’t see Clapton playing one

The jury’s still out as to whether I want one… or will stick with the “boring old strings” of my usual guitars.



Don’t get me wrong, technology in music is a fantastic thing; Matt Bellamy (guitar) and Chris Wolstenholme (bass) of Muse – for example – couldn’t make half of the wonderful noises they do without a little technological assistance along the way.

But, these effects are created through processing the sound made from a “traditional” four or six string guitar.

I’m not a luddite – far, far, far from it – but maybe some things are beyond the pale?
