Title: The Handle - Pretty odd looking guitar
Post by: Scotty477 on January 23, 2008, 06:53:58 PM
Has anyone played one of these yet?

The Handle seems a pretty cr@p name but I'd like to try one.

If it didn't have a neck on it, I'd probably look twice thinking it was a steering wheel.

that thing would look pretty cool if it wasn't for all the holes in it...

Is it carbon fibre?

yeah, it looks like its mostly made from carbon fibre in a similar way to a gus.

i would be interested to know how it balances with the body being as slim as it is

I don't know whether it is comparably ugly but here is an equally retarded looking guitar:

I was at NAMM and couldnt keep my eyes off it, and couldnt beleive its sound and playability.
I just saw on guitar jam daily that it won the most Innovative product Award from Namm, I guess that confems my opinion, check it out yourselves!

The Handle is 2 KG of sexy looks and smoking sound.

was on a carbon fibre guitar binge the other week, found a few videos on youtube, not many, but the all carbon no wood ones didn't sound right to me, something missing, a bit lifeless maybe couldn't put my finger on it, but then that could be bad videos

the Vigier guitars with the carbon fibre (I think) strip on the back of the neck look interesting, bfoot signature has no truss rod, no idea about the rest
