Alistair is going to have to agree to being adopted, I will have to claim as dependent.

While some say "tease," I appreciate good marketing to create customer interest. Sean knows how to work it.

You didn't get the note about "virtual strings"?? It is going to change the way guitars and basses are played! Only going to be available with carbon fiber, btw.

Perhaps obvious to some, but I wonder if this is an actual molded specimen, or a digital rendering. I suspect the latter.

Tom;

I suspect that you are correct. At first I thought I might be seeing a guitar with a clean primer job. But then I realized we are not seeing any weave. Maybe this is just a dream? As you suggest, a digital dream.

Hi Tom,

This isn't a digital rendering...watch this space, more to come!
