Location: Phoenix AZ | Those came out early this year. There's a blue and a black one also, I think. I've seen them advertised retail for $199. Looks like a great starter guitar for the money. The red looks nice. I like that it has no rosette so you can just add your own pickguard if you choose to. Dave |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Clear is not a primary color. But dispite that technicallity, I think you may be on to something. Let's incorporate it into my catalog:
Item #1 - String Tubes
Item #2 - Hatch paint
Item #3 - Low frequency jack hole plugs
Item #4 - Spray on pickguards
Currently in development is the Strapless Guitar Holder. It allows one to play standing up with no strap in the way. It's simple yet unique. Those who have tested it have gotten pretty excited. Basically it's a replacement hatch cover (inside is already painted white), but it has a hole in it to attach to your body. Hole sizes are currently available in 1 inch and 1.5 inch diameter. Moody requested a special .75 inch hole but that isn't available due to low demand. Prototype testing is current underway. A special womans version is planned, but the technology is somewhat different. It uses a velcro like attachment instead of the hole.

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I coulda used the Strapless this past Friday at our Old time/ Bluegrass jam. I forgot my regular strap and had to play standing without one...man, that's tough....However, as the average age of the audience was late 60's, I mighta had some "staying" issues with the Strapless...
I suggest, a Strapless-Strap-on version. Uni-sex model. It would also solve the Moody Issue. |
