I don't even know why I ran across these, again- but these 2 videos are.... piquin me interest

the first one the necks on the ones they're usin are puuuuurrrrrty!

the second one gives some good demonstration of the capability-

their capability (guitars and demonstrators) are way above my pay grade- I know that, but, still....

Still don't have my new comp up and running yet, so can't give that thing a quality listen from that video, but, I have heard it before. Didn't knock even one sock off though.

But, the bigger, the larger, the huge mistake I think they've made, which I did not know before because previous vids did not mention it, is that stupid rechargeable battery. Wow. That, is a big mistake.

All of us giggers that use instruments with active pickups that use batteries always have an extra one around somewhere so that if the current battery dies, for whatever reason, we know it just takes 15 to 30 seconds to swap in another one.

There is no way a gigger is going to put themselves in a situation where if their guitar's battery runs low or dies, that they are absolutely screwed for the next 2 to 5 hours as far as that instrument is concerned. At that point, the instrument becomes a useless paper weight.

That alone is what I think might make this thing a huge flop. But, who knows, I could be wrong, but I wouldn't, actually I couldn't , touch this thing with a 20 foot pole. lol.

The "new", made in Mexico model has a replaceable battery-

It's "modeling" capabilities are amazing-

Garland, If the battery is replaceable, then that makes it useable. Assuming of course you have fully charged rechargeables with you. Rechargeables don't hold a charge as long as normal batteries, so you'd still have to stay on top of that, but at least you can switch fast.

The "new" made in Mexico "Player" series has replaceable batteries, not rechargeable.
