The Best Guitar I have ever seen/heard!!!

Unread post by adrianosr » Wed Nov 26, 2003 4:46 am

This is definitly the best guitar I have ever seen and heard! I heard it by the hands of the german guitar player Uwe Kropinski! Check it out, specially if you like jazz and tell me what you think! Oh! And what's the best guitar you guys ever seen?

I haven't heard its sound yet , but i'll have to agree with the Picasso part , it looks like the designer was high when he made it , it looks rather funny and different though

Wow. Looks like a four year old drew a Selmer (which are ugly as well.) Didn't listen, though, that's what dial up'll do for you. And yeah to the Sluggers sig Dave.

Yeah! It looks odd alright but it has a purpose. It's made this way to achieve the best sound possible along it's 4 octave harm and also, you can do percussive stuff on the top, as it can give about 7/10 different sounds in diferent parts of it! You really have to hear this thing!

You can definitly not judge de quality of the guitar's sound by a mono, low-quality 40kb/s mp3!! Those sound clips were just to get a catch at the guitar player's style!
By the way, I didn't say it was the pretiest guitar I saind it was the best!

The flute or what it was that was also played in the clip sounded good , so i would think that the guitar would too , maybe at a higher quality it should sound a little better , but i would never say that it is the best , i've heard 1000's of different guitars , and saying whats best is hard , i would say though that any Taylor or Martin would beat it without even have to listening to them

That is a freaky-cool lookin guitar...I saw a guy playing a 14 string, dual neck acoustic this week. There were 7 strings per necks, and It was just odd-looking. It was like, when the mother guitar gave birth to it, it was supposed to be two guitars, but instead, there were 2 necks on one body...weird...

peace
I love you oh so well, like a kid loves candy and fresh snow.
