already i'm my head i know i will own one of these one day ...it's not a question of if but when ...but having said that my preamp collection is getting a tad out of hand ...its embarassing.
all of this reminds me of carlsbro and hh which also seemed to cater to the same market... for me peavey was the only affordable escape route out of that world.
i like standard d ...it just means you have lower open strings ...you can still play in standard tuning easily enough ..throw a capo on the second fret if you like ...instant shortscale.
he's alright .. it's all a bit of an act and it turns out he can actually play quite well ..oh and he hates 5 stringers ...so he isn't a total dipstick in my book.
