Nov 21, 2005 11:06 pm MF is up now, but they dont carry that guitar. I assume they probably will if it turns out its a worthwhile piece of gear.
I am guessing this is basically a Parker knock off. Parker has used composite materials along with their wood for years.
These guys even copped some of the Parker look to their body, so who knows. Kinda cheap though for what they claim.
Nov 22, 2005 12:19 am i read some reviews on harmoney central, mostly positive....i doing research on it still... i read in a pdf i got from their site that its molded from a polyurethane resin....yea the horn on the left is pronounced like a parker fly....but it looks like a cross breed of guitars.......man if i lived in the US it woulda been so much easier just to go to a store that has it and try it lol...here hardly got a good range to choose from and musical instruments expensive here so u know..

Nov 22, 2005 05:51 pm Well not sure about their resin but I onwed one of those clear acrylic guitars years ago and honestly it sounded like crap. Nice for show but worthless as far as any real playing goes.
Maybe they have a differant resin recipe.
Nov 22, 2005 05:54 pm well their aim in this wasnt for looks as from what i read...it was to try and get as close as possible to the characteristics of high quality aged wood.

my old guitarist had a guitar with some sort of clear plexiglassish type body..heavey as hell but it sounded good.

Nov 25, 2005 12:16 am One of their endorsers Lou St. Paul is from around here and he's really good. I don't think he would be playing anything that's crap, but I've never heard one. They were at NAMM over the summer, I think that's when they were first introduced. Lou's band is called Wintersbane, if you're into metal check them out he used the "Revolution" model on some of the new stuff.

Nov 27, 2005 11:20 pm No I can't. Check Musician's Friend we're always working some kind of sale with them. I usually don't push AT stuff on here but for the price AT2020 really is a killer mic. See ya!
