Ou7shined Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I guess that ends the debate as to whether it is pronounced Lak-land (like I thought) or Lak[u]e[/u]-land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, as is explained on the Lākland website, it's named after Dan [b]Lak[/b]in (pronounced 'lake-in') and Hugh MacFar[b]land[/b]. That's why there is a macron over the first 'a' (e.g. Lākland) on the headstocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you noticed it. I guess that was the point. The mistake was to leave that A4 page pinned up right behind his head. A billy-basic first year student filming error!!

BigRedX Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The video could have done with some production values like a script and no people talking and the background... At least it looks as though it might be possible to get a 5-string Hollowbody through their custom shop programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
