Thanks to all who responded yesterday, will see what tricks are up the sleeve today. For Eric from yesterday’s question, that was not me in the resonator clip. I am the poster child for computer illituracee, so video uploads would put me over the edge.

Did anyone participate in Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales? I saw a few “WANT TO HAVE” items but couldn’t find anything I “HAD TO HAVE” so money stayed in my pocket. Sales will continue for sure.

Tasty treats certainly come from this oven! Gotta get the Mesa Boogie model next.

What’s for lunch? I am still staying on the lighter side this week so it is a veggie sandwich, a bag of baked chips and water. Not that bag of chips is that healthy but I rationalize that it is better than something fried.

G&L TopicLet’s talk tremolo bars, wiggle sticks, whammy bars or your favorite name for string bender.
For years I was not a fan of tremolo’s but off and on again and over the past year am on again. My introduction to the bar was a Floyd Rose equipped HM Strat years ago which wore out its’ welcome in short time. Not until a couple of years back did I get the urge and decided to go the Dual Fulcrum route and found this to be much more appealing. This little 3 bolt beauty was acquired from another fine GLDP member, thanks Mac!

A couple of vids showing off one of my favorite trem players and song w/lesson (Jeff Beck does a great job too), and a little G&L action as well.
So for you, is it Yea trem baby! Or, is it just Trem maybe?
Non-G&L TopicAuto tune guitars have interested me for some time. The engineer in me, or lack of, wants to figure how they do it.
Peavey AT-200 features Antares® Auto-Tune®, Gibson's Robot Guitar and Evertune are some options out there that from a technical perspective I think are pretty neat, but not sure if I am fully bought in. For thos interested, here are a few videos of how they work.
Antares is more of a software sound manipulation and not a true tuning machine.
Gibson's Robot Guitar and Mini Tune adapter are real string tuning but more of an onboard tuner all in onboard attachment at the headstock.
The Evertune bridge seems to approach true string tuning and looks like a mechanical marvel to me.
I am so used to hand tuning and the tuner on my pedal board I don't think I would search on out, but if I found one CHEAP it could find its way home with me.
Auto tune guitar, are you interested or is this more money and gadgets to get in the way?
Should G&L look at adding an auto option to broaden the product offering?
See ya on hump day!
