Oh, and my 11 pound guitar.... Soon discovering the beauty of allan holdsworth, I stopped everything, shut up, and played for about a year straight. I did nothing else. And in this process I studied bebop, learned classical, and recently am studying the inflections and note choices of brett garsed, frank gambale, shawn lane, and allan holdswoth. This kind of brought me to amp tone. And, I looked at the half completed/finished jem in the corner of my closet. And started cracking up, I saw where I was going, but honestly, an evolution in the bridge and a floyd rose?!?!! That ain't exactly the
zenith of tone folks. As for the weight, I didn't mind, however... ever since playing a chambered TK instrument owned by my friend, I had a pretty damn good idea as to what I wanted.
