The ML-1
« on: July 13, 2009, 06:37:51 PM »

Actually quite a nice guitar, and should come to around 420$, that is quite cool, what do you think?

Well, I registered my interest, I think this strat with some BKPs could rock hard!

I was going to get one, if it stayed with the Stratocaster headstock but since its changed I've pulled out.

I don't like it. I'm sure it's a nice guitar but just not up my street.

Also, I think Rob is no longer an Orange artist - I'm sure I remember hearing that somewhere, I could be wrong though.

Yeah I think he didn't get in return from them what he expected (in terms of support for his own PR). I guess he is searching, he was playing Budda/Peaveys somewhere on LGS, maybe he is negotiating with them. Budda endorsement would not really be the worst of options  8)

very interesting idea, that kind of what I'm looking to do with my amps - get a list of features that people want then do a small production run (maybe 5-10 heads).  they'll be numbered 1/10, 2/10, 3/10 etc... and a note which production run they're from a keep things exclusive.

The guitar looks alright, but there's nothing very exciting about it.

Looks like the company behind this are Barnes and Mullins who I used to work for 20 years ago

They are behind the Faith Guitar brand and will have access to far eastern factories to build this

Interesting project, although i worry about guitars being "designed by Committee" as ultimately they lack a single person's vision

Well I find it a very nice guitar. If it had a Strat headstock and a Charvel logo, it would be sold for 2,500$

I thought he was up to something with bogner

speaking of peavey, they have rusty cooley endorsing their new 3120, which seems to be a replacement for the XXX with a damping control on the back for tight, sponge or in the middle

He says that this is the first time collaborative design has been used on a guitar, but surely there was a thread here designing a guitar that Wez built?
Oh well.
