    Framus on strums, Samus on drums

    Most guitarists who get signatures made: "This guitar is fine tuned, to replicate my sound and be as delicate as possible while doing so."
    Devin Townsend: "My guitar is a truck".
    God I love him so.

      Yes, he left another company who wouldn’t make his guitar specifically how he wanted and moved to a high-end custom shop in Framus to ignore the specs.

    How to do nice guitar propaganda...Devy Level
    "Yeah, you can ask with a little mermaid color and smoke machines with the custom version. It will be ugly, but yeah, it will be possible"

      The guitar with the smoke machine is the Zeltoid Flying V. The guitar he said would be ugly is the Koa centre, sparkle purple outer Stormbender he described being possible.

      Likely it was a recording issue and rather than fixing it by making it mono they kept it stereo. Maybe they assumed because it was a musician we needed two hear each speaker exclusively? Not sure. (Sorry if my terms are off, but you should get the idea)

I'm not saying they shouldn't be worth a small premium but I've played guitars less that 500 quid which has sounded ten fold better and for a lil more money you can just update a few things. I'd take a grestch jet duo over a les paul easily any day and it's less than half the price.

Devin should get Framus to send out a bunch to some youtubers, get us really hooked but I suspect Music Man is pushing the general public more than Framus is with this guitar so Framus probably doesnt care. Both ooze quality though, it a shame we can only get that at thier price range.
