There are some things you can’t quantify. It’s the difference between admiring a guitar, or picking one up and writing something new without even trying. When you take a small team of passionate, dedicated guitar developers, and give them access to all the technology, knowledge, and audio expertise of a multi-national music company, things get interesting pretty quickly. Like the world of rock and roll around them, guitars have always been shrouded in legend and myth. Our duty is to question every assumption, break down every component, and truly understand what makes for an amazing guitar. Nothing is sacred when your goal is perfection.
