Location: big island | from an interview:
GV: What caused you to choose Takamine over any other guitar manufacturer?
Tony: The low cost and the quality of the Takamine guitar is appealing. It’s not a high end guitar but is road worthy and the internal pickup is one of the best.
i've seen photos of tony with a black tak EF341. it's difficult to be sure what model he is playing here. but you're right mike, it does sound good. i've seen other guys play guitar using their feet, however, tony is the first one i've seen using a pick. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | What is inspiring, and kinda embarrassing, is that Tony and this guy play better than me!
Or at least with more rhythm and Heart.
But it does inspire (not discourage) me!
