      Yeah, he said it’s made in China which Framus only does with their least expensive models like the D Series.

      @@DevilsAdvocate92 I don't mind a Chinese made guitar these days. It isn't 1998 anymore and guitars really aren't all that complicated to build. A German made example of the Stormbender (the one that Devin uses) is like $7000 or something so it's really a no-brainer. People can't afford $7000 for was is mostly, by weight, just a piece of wood.

    Devin Townsend is an evil genius of the highest magnitude. Even if I don't like everything he does, I hugely admire him for just doing whatever he feels like doing and making it work for himself above all. Lo, and behold that the field his cares are grown in is barren!
