New guitar maker

A few other manufacturers that did something different:
Ovation - which obviously has stood the test of time.
They were geared towards live music, which is their niche'.
Rainsong - they haven't been around too long, I don't know what the future holds.
The Chapman Stick - need I say more?
Danelectros are radical in their own cheap (but cool) way.

The only expensive, radical guitar designs of my life I would evern consider are the Parker guitars. Actually I have one. :D. They are simply wonderful instruments and one of the few pricey, solid body electric guitars that are worth the price, IMO.
 
If they werent so greedy and kept them in around the $700 to $1500 range they might take off, they do look pretty cool, especially the flying V and the black/grey model, but the price is outrageous. Only way they would make money is by having Satch or Vai pack it in with Ibanez and start promoting them and cut the price by a minimum of 50%. I've never heard of the guys endorsing these guitars and the MP3 clips sounded bloody awfull to my ears...
 
i think that those guitars should have a PS2 cable coming out of the peg head and be able to plug into any PC and print out lyrics to the song you are yelling!


think i will stick with my strat....

butt ugly guitars IMO

Talking about ELECTRICS here, don't you know.

Rainsong is too new to know, yet, but they make an interesting guitar, particularly for touring musicians. Similar coments (minus the too new thing) for Ovation. Ovation did what they did because, when they came out, they were the only company with a half way decent pickup, but they have never been sold on their acoustic merits. And do you remember what happened when they tried to bring out an electric guitar? When was the last time YOU saw a Breadwinder? I see them from time to time, but the fact is, even if they hadn't been so radical, they were POS, so they pretty much deserved to fail.

A stick ain't a guitar, it's a stick. Fine instrument, but far from being mass produced, and last I heard Emitt (how the hell do you spell that?) Chapman was pretty close to knocking on the pour house door, though I could be wrong about that. Far from being a hugely successful business.

Danelectro has had more bankruptcies than most other guitar companies put together. (Well, no, but you get the idea.)
