They have one of those Yamahas in my local shop, its a nice player but looks a bit gaye imo. Tried the Godins and Parkers, they're both nice. Dont like that Tele bridge on that particular model though, it seems to contradict the whole idea behind Parker.

I remember seeing a strat that had a laptop built into the back of it. I think it was in Loaded or FHM some years back, so there was no actual details. It was probably a one-off thing.

This is the belt buckle I like to wear while playing that guitar. Hell, I wear it all the time.

I've always been curious about the Roland G707. I've never seen one in person. It's a guitar synth that came out in the early 80's, so I would imagine that the tracking must be horrible. The guitar itself was made by Ibanez. As far as I know, to use the synth feature, you can only use the guitar with the accompanying foot controller. I'm not exactly sure what the synth sounds like, but the guitar itself looks cool (in my opinion, at least) in a retro sci-fi kind of way.

there's a band from edinburgh that use them but just as a fancy looking guitar, i think. you can pick them up here (with the synth bit) for about £400 or so. dunno what they go for in the new world.

I <3 80s Roland so much. What happened Roland??? You made some of the most popular analog synthesizers of all time and THE most popular analog drum machines of all time and then you threw it all out.

I know what you mean, but this (relatively) new stuff like the GI-20 works really well and is dead impressive. I guess they were just a bit more futuristic and pie-in-the-sky in the 80s.

Actually this is an very interesting thread, dont know what to add.
Just reading and seeing all this strange stuff gives me goosebumps.

I played a Bond Electraglide carbon fibre guitar way back when. At first glance you look at those non-frets and think "No way. It's just a gimmick" but it feels very natural and really nice and slick. Complete commercial failure of course but it was a cracking little guitar. Probably its only claim to fame is that Mick Jones used one when he was in Big Audio Dynamite. He's wearing it on the cover of the second album.

Ah that's nice. It's kinda Westone-shaped.

This is what they say about saddles:timhulio wrote:I'd also like to add:

An incredibly expensive and incomprehensible modular pickup system.
OK, I might believe that.String Saverâ„¢ Saddles are made with a unique combination of materials to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage. How Do They Work? A string resting on a metal saddle binds and locks the string in place. As the string vibrates, it stresses the string on a very specific point and produces metal fatigue and then string breakage. Each String Saverâ„¢ Saddle is impregnated with Teflon, the slipperiest substance on earth. The Teflon in String Saverâ„¢ eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to drastically reduce string breakage.
Really?What Do They Sound Like? Metal saddles have a pronounced 2KHz treble spike that dominates the tonal spectrum. String Saversâ„¢ have a more balanced tone, with highs, mids, and big open lows. You will notice an increase in sustain by up to 25% over brass saddles and 15% over steel saddles.
