    Great demoing…but you might wanna do it again with the tone switch in the neutral position (no cap in circuit) so folks can hear what the White Penguin sounds like without the highs rolled down. :)

    The way he plays the base line and the melody over the top is crazy. I want to learn how to do that.

    I like seeing Lemmo with a Gretsch. I honestly feel they don’t get much of the spotlight as Strats, Les Pauls or Tele’s get... they have a good combination of a Fender Quack/Twang and the Snark/Honk from a Gibson.

Marlene can be the videographer! Maybe not a daily but several a year. But don't say where they will be at ahead of release. Kinda like where in the world is the guitar king and queen!
