es350's-----??-------i want mine to say--abpt--

ade - it's beautiful. i've had my eyes on a parker 'four seasons - spring' model for a while, but surely this would be worth the extra kitty treats. what's it smell like? does it put out?
ReplyDelete...i'm young, blood type AB and disease free - anyone wanna buy one of my kidneys?
hi adrian, congrats! i'd say this is the ultimate guitar. just a confirmation though, can it be used with a guitar synth (GR-30, GR-33, etc.)? and, can the tremolo do dive-bombs and pull-offs?
ReplyDeletethanks and more success to you!!
ferdie
yes and yes. it was made to play through a guitar synthe or any other midi device. I use mine through a GR-30 as well as a VG-99.
ReplyDeletethe tremelo is the best I know of.
cheers,
adrian
Damn! I'm going to have to sell a LOT of Girl Scout cookies to get one of those!
ReplyDeleteI watched the video demo that you hosted and I needed a bib by the time it was done. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one but dreaming is still within my budget!
Congratulations Adrian.
Congratulations Adrian! It is beautiful and I have loved seeing the magic that you create when combined with this beautiful guitar.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and sleek work of art. I love the Arctic Silver color.
ReplyDeleteCongrat's !
That's a great guitar, hope you come to Dayton or Cincinnati so I can see you play it sometime. I remember seeing you at Bogarts some years ago and it was on of the best shows ever.
ReplyDeleteAde' it's beautiful! I can't wait to try one.
ReplyDeleteAdrian,
ReplyDeleteMy son and I spend a lot of time talking about music. I tell him how good the bands use to be and he tells me how good they are now. I was playing him a copy of Red about a month ago and since then he has accumulated most of kc"s catalog. What a great feeling it is to share something with your kids. Thanks for your music.

oh man that's a beauty, adrian!
ReplyDeletei love the tangerine colour. (orange is my fave colour.)
sustainiac & synth pickups... perfect.
i have been playing my parker nitefly for 10 years or so, and i absolutely love it... one of the best investments i ever made.
if i had the cash, that's exactly the guitar i would buy. (it likely goes for twice what i paid for my car, so i guess i should start buying lottery tickets.)
way to go!
Adrian, Julie, and Eric -
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to Fort Wayne last evening to play yer stuff. Can't beat a 90-minute concert for free. As I said, while you were signing autographs, the small (250 seat) theater made it seem like I was watching you play in my living room. You guys (and gal) rock!!!
Best of luck with the new album!
Tony Isch
