MULTI TIMBRE ELECTRIC GUITAR DESIGN (New Technology)
This guitar has extensively toured with guitarist Mike Keneally as part of his guitar arsenal with the Zappa Band. Mike has also recorded several new original compositions and used the AS guitar for contract work as well.
What would an electric guitar sound like if there was a way to produce two pure resonate voices and blend them into one guitars voice?
Shimmer, shimmer, shimmer! (See attached video...)
