[Session 5]

“Guitars haven’t changed that much in the last 50 years. We’re about to change that”: Guitar Center is setting up its own in-house guitar brand – and it’s asking players for their help

Guitar Center CEO Gabe Dalporto says the retailer is going to build “the best guitar that has ever been made”

If I saw the black with the red trim for sale. I would buy it in a heartbeat
The 1960s Batmobile is my all time favorite.
That guitar would be encased in an environmentally controlled enclosure. And only played on special occasions

I love those Hallmark "Bat Wing" guitars. Would have loved to have bought one when they made them. I also like the Hallmark Swept Wing.









As far as other weird guitars are concerned, these two guys had a big influence on me when I was young.

• SG John

• 

"Been there, done that."

I looked at the date the article was posted just to be sure it wasn't an April Fool's joke.

Here’s my wild guess. It’ll have:

Roasted maple neck
Custom wound SSH pickups by SD
An unusual body shape
Locking tuners
Wilkinson vibrato bridge
A Gilmour switch
Really cool finishes

And will sell for $700 with a case.
