I've been a Luthier, Amp & Effects tech for 36 years now. I've met Thomas several times when he worked for Frank Zappa. He truly is a mad scientist, a very kind one. He has teamed up with many manufacturers over the years to produce some amazing set ups for his customers. By doing this, Thomas has helped shape the guitar tones of several of the best players of our time. He's nearly 70 and he's still a big kid when it comes to this stuff. We need people like him and Dallas Schoo who push the envelope of what's possible.
Thomas is the coolest guy ever, I met him when he was touring with Yngwie and he was so gracious and friendly. An honest man in the world of money music. He is not only guitar tech to the best, but a great human being as well. GODSPEED Mr. Nordegg!
so check this out, push this, pull this, pluck that, whammy half step, roll vol to 6 then 4 then 2 and then back to 6, stand up, sit down, play intro to "Bad Horsie" 7 times backwards (the riff backwards not you), play intro to "Bad Horsie" 7 times backwards (you backwards not the riff),,,,now its in drop d tuning!
Hi What is the piezo system that is install in this guitar. It's look like it can be install in any Floyd ou Kahler. Is it a invention from Thomas or is it possible to buy it?
+Théo Combier In this video, Thomas is using a guitar with a magnetic hexaphonic pickup. It is part of the Antares Autotune for Guitar custom installation kit, which also includes additional electronic components that are installed in the guitar for signal processing. Antares also now offer an equivalent floor processor "Antares ATG-1" which can be used with any guitar with a 13-pin output (simplest and cheapest option is probably to install a Roland GK-3 on an existing guitar).
Fiddlekrazy Steve he will be soon. He has a guitar called "Thomas" now equipped very similar to this guitar. It will be seen on the next tour for sure!
Fiddlekrazy Steve I shot a video similar to this one when we had Thomas back on our show with Steve's actual guitar. Look for it on my TH-cam channel soon.
guys out of touch with the 'gitar community' as a whole. This is a really cool product but its a NICHE thing, it will never be mainstream, not for a long long time. When people are happy to let their computers play the guitar for them because they are so much more in tune. and that , thanfully aint today...

He is cool guy

Lol, pathetic. All of that typing and you didn't even make a valid point.
he made me fucking laugh which is a lot more than u
Nice
So... he took an Evo replica, which there aren't many of, and butchered it until it became a Line 6 Variaxe without being a Line 6 product.
Seems odd, but not at all if you know Thomas
That's exactly what I was thinking.
oh yeah forgot, this thing cool, not sure I would have done it to EVO rep.
lot of thought went in to this!
Furman English thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to subscribe.
watched it again, lot of stuff going on, caught why he used the EVO
Furman English yeah best way to get Steve to buy into it, use the guitar he loves and is most familiar with.
she's a woman by the Beatles if you wondering the little melody he plays at the end
Yep
Very Interesting! Crazy!
Fiddlekrazy Steve agreed!
i love that guitar..
Lucas Gramajo me too.
is he playing thru that tiny marshall 15 watt solid state amp in the corner ? I have one of those and it kicks applesauce believe it or not
Yeah it is
Im sorry guys but I think he could have done all those mods on a regular jem, why destroy (IMHO) one of only 100 guitars?
What can I saw Thomas is a unique guy.
Now it's one of only 1 guitars.
Well, it's HIS guitar. So who cares.
well obviously darkprog cares.
Hi
What is the piezo system that is install in this guitar.
It's look like it can be install in any Floyd ou Kahler.
Is it a invention from Thomas or is it possible to buy it?
Théo Combier It is something that was created by Peavey I believe. You can purchase it as far as i know.

Pentatonic markers on the fretboard?
Why not, it is completely removable.
I wish I would have thought of that!
Yeah no kidding. I think now Steve Vai is selling custom fret markers designed in the Vai world.
Jack Mc. Those are the white and black keys on the piano, on the guitar neck as far as I could tell.
White and black piano keys marked on the guitar neck. Interesting!
Why not lol
Genius
Yes he is
what a cool guy!! amazing
Yep
This guitar for Albert Einstein
This guitar for Emmett Brown!
@@ernesto_longhi got ya, back to the future.
True
So the guitar sounds like A good synthesizer patch with the system on. Most of us prefer a good passive guitar in tune.
Its the sound that he has created in his head
NICK JONAS SHOULD THIS STUFF FOR HIS CONCERT MATE :D
Poor Nick, he will never live that down.
hahahahaha Dick Jonas just setup the cable only after that i will give him applause :)
You talkin' smack about Thomas, Sandra? How'd you like to be my hood ornament?
Pimp my guitar! lol :)
Kind of is
insane
Maybe or genius
Of all...ALL People, Stevie Vai would make this Gadget SING!!
Fiddlekrazy Steve he will be soon. He has a guitar called "Thomas" now equipped very similar to this guitar. It will be seen on the next tour for sure!
Really??? Wow! I cannot wait!
He always puts on a very entertaining show.

The Albert Einstein of guitars
Yes
This guitar reminds me of someone... WAIT!!! Optimus Prime is that you?
It might be!
😲😲😲👍
Yes awesome eh!
Супер!!!
Thanks for watching.
White Walker EVO....
Nice
But doesn't it mean, you have to abandon your pickup and switch to antares's one? That would butcher the tone, guitarists are used to for years.
Ok
that's not your normal evo replica right there. its like an frankenstein evo., haha
Resuteru Kaitano you are right there my sir. Pretty cool guitar though.... very powerful. Imagine what will be possible in 5 years!
Why would he ruin such a sacred guitar???
In his mind he didn't ruin it, he made it Timespeed! :)
he looks ric flair lol wooooooo ^^
funny
W T F ! ?
What issues do you have with this video?
+sillennium What are you talking about?
guys out of touch with the 'gitar community' as a whole. This is a really cool product but its a NICHE thing, it will never be mainstream, not for a long long time. When people are happy to let their computers play the guitar for them because they are so much more in tune. and that , thanfully aint today...
He wouldn't care to him its about creating the impossible and making it seem easy
So its a synth. Not guitar, but a great synth.
It is a cool guitar for sure.
It's basically cheating.. I want it!! Lol
+LouCFur90 then get it!!! :)
@@sillennium only if I able to!
Out.of.tune
Please explain
that antaris autotune is impossible..... but.. I BADLY NEED IT!!!
awesome!
