i've been scouting around for reviews of my new guitar, and it's consistently scoring 8/10 overall. build quality, playability, tone (acoustically and amped up) i just can't fault it.

now i've played a set on it live, it's super comfy to play standing up.

the other factor is a bit sentimental... it's almost exactly the same as my taka 12 string; a matching pair if you will, but built 26 years apart. just beautiful. i'm a happy camper.

i'm gonna take another 1mm off the saddles and string it up with an unwound g.

experimentations... fuck it's an awesome thing. so alive and bright sounding, yet deep and resonant. amazing.

[ELVIS]

bit of exciting news; the band has scored an endorsement deal via the aussie importers of taka...

That's awesome! Where's that video?

[ashstralia]

we've got 2 gigs this weekend vain, the t shirts arrived.

i'll throw the iphone to someone in the audience and see what we come up with.

last time we did that though, all we got was video of drunk chicks boobies and them doing the vag sign...

edit; btw i fucked up. turns out the top is cedar. but it's so light coloured and tight grained i thought it was spruce.
the old 12 string has a cedar top, too. much darker colour though.
