[ROAR]

Sickkkk,

He'll never be as good as himself

 

[JamesM]

I think it was a joke. I laughed.

 

[espman]

^ I think it was too, I'm just being a smartass

 

[Customisbetter]

That was unreal Chris. Great job!

 

[clouds]

Awesome guitar Chris. Your band has been a real inspiration to me. Are you guys gonna make another album?

 

[Mukersman]

Ok confused here, does fanned fret ALWAYS mean multiscale? I'm just used to reading Ormsby's build threads on UG, so that's what I thought it was. if so, what are the scale lengths? Either they aren't that different, or you are freaking huge lol.

anyway, awesome playing! I'm trying to find a cd of yours somewhere around here!

 

[highlordmugfug]

Man you guys kick so much ass. And that guitar is so sexy.

^Fanned frets and multiscale are the same thing. There's some douchebag that claims he invented one of them and that it's better or something, but it's the same thing as far as I know.

Like the sound/tone/melody I guess the "look how many notes I can play in a measure" style gets old fast to me. Two hand tapping seems to be getting really popular and how else are you going to get that sound I suppose. Just don't start slapping the body around please

May I ask what scale the neck is please? That looks like a very subtle fan fret. Most I see I think oh geez, not for me however that looks like it would not be a great leap to adapt to. May I also ask what pick-ups or any other specs you are willing to share such as DAW or mic'd etc.

Thanks again for sharing, I really enjoyed the music and will book mark your band and keep an ear out for you in my area someday.

Happy New Year

I was just thinking to myself the other day that it had been a while since you posted a play through video.

Awesome choice of song and guitar. For those asking about the Strandberg, here's the specs (Chris' is #5) => Strandberg Guitarworks » Instruments

Yeah dude I think it's being mastered right now!

 

[aardfish]

i want one. a chris letchford would be nice, too.

 

[ChrisLetchford]

thanks for checking it out guys! appreciate all the compliments.

yes, very small fan... 25 to 25.75
that extra .25 on bottom really makes the low B tension perfect for a 56 in my opinion.
Lundgren pickups.

yes, new album this year. should be out in March.
they haven't got the final artwork yet, so our label wont post the release date... but pretty sure its March... the release date should be announce within the next few weeks. Its already completely finished, other than the artwork. Production is sounding huge this time, really excited for everyone to hear it.

 

[Xaios]

Sounds great Chris.


Please though... more solos!

 

[timbaline]

Man, I love this song!!

 

[Cyntex]

Indeed, such a nice song and a gorgeous guitar might I add.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Nice guitar, and great playing man!
