I might even break my “never preorder audio gear” rule for this.

I wonder why they decided to leave out a midi transport sync? :frowning_face:

3/4 of pre-war C.F. Martin tone is linked to headstock dust mojo.

Science bro.

The headstock is too light…

The dust is ballast.

You can do the 414 tape trick with these

You can do that trick with a lot of gear but still

Just got a message back from my Sweetwater guy: they either don’t have or can’t share a date when they will have inventory.

I do have a preorder in.

With the way SG guitars neck dive you really don’t need any ballast, however surely the tone is now completely dead and since you ruined any resale value you may as well burn the thing or send it to me and I’ll burn it for you over the course of several years and various recordings.
