Nice amp but what caught my ears and eyes is the Viktorian El Grace guitar.

All composite (carbon fiber) that sounded great.
Weighs just under 6 lbs.

Only $3,749.00 :D

Don't let that smoke out!

I had the feeling he was fighting the amp. Frankly it sounded a bit dead to me, not enough sustain, which urged him to keep picking notes. And the picking was with force.

Maybe just a matter of opening up the master a bit.

Good description. He doesnt look happy - he's fighting the amp! No a gratifying tone.

Plastic guitars just don't cut it. I own a Parker Fly Deluxe former star guitar 3.5 lbs.
The Parker has the fastest neck I have ever played but it is still toneless junk.
I'm sure the Dumble is a great sounding amp in the proper hands. :lol:

Kind of how I always felt about the Steinberger guitar. They're consistent, got to give them that.

Plastic is consistent, consistently bad! :D

I had friends that worked at modulus and even they didn't like 'em, but people still bought them based on the materials myth.

I wanna hear my friend Mike's design through that amp, Lance compares it to a 335 too. Looks like he's playing through a bludo?

felt really sorry for the guy, frankly if i paid that much for a guitar i would be pretty pissed if it looked that hard to play, i stick with wood any day.

IMO, that video won't help sell the guitar or the Dumble. Not that the Dumble needs help selling. Very unimpressive sound overall. In one ear and out the other...

That was my thought exactly, not good at all.

It seems to me that the real issue in the clip is the player himself. He looks like he's out of his element.
