Nice playing, now I need to try and find a custom builder with a tone knob, where can I find one of these, suggestions?

I hear those guys at Alembic will do all sorts of crazy electronics. I'm sure they could get you one of those tone knobs.

And that's a really unattractive-looking guitar.

After I read this, I noticed there was an ad for baseball hats at the top of the page

Small world aint it?

romper_stomper · 01-01-2009, 01:45 PM

C'mon guys. He's not THAT bad, I liked how he described the cutaway and the heel. But the tone knob? Yeah I understand you guys there.

WHAT?

lol. i dont think he convinced anyone. and how many times did he say basically?

Adam Of Angels · 01-01-2009, 04:02 PM

I don't like to be mean, but this guy seems like a moron.

He also has terrible chops, no matter how fast some of those sweeps were. I guess he didn't come out and say "I'm awesome", but he definitely should slow down and learn to play a few notes before he tries shredding like Rusty.

well the fact that the tone knob is kind of cool is one of the few things he didn't think but new.

"I think they basically sound like 81s if anyone knows what they sound like?"

He even managed to throw up the horns wrong seriously the Fonz throws up more metal horns than that

GazPots · 01-01-2009, 07:41 PM

Basically, he doesn't come across as the smartest guy in the world.

Jason · 01-02-2009, 01:03 AM

Basically that guitar is fuck ugly.

bulb · 01-02-2009, 05:00 AM

basically im going to make sure that all my new guitars have at least 3 tone knobs or more!

the only cool part was the kahler trem, i didnt know those could selfblock, but i have heard/seen too many qc and build issues with Halo to be even remotely sold by that amazing sales pitch!

All_¥our_Bass · 01-02-2009, 05:22 AM

The guy is kinda dumb, but I like the guitar. Obviously there are better guitarists as well, but I'd choose him over some GC wanker anyday.

LOL at tone knob comment tho. I personally like having one.

Mattayus · 01-02-2009, 01:55 PM

That... that body, it's........... it's huge!!!!

Esp Griffyn · 01-02-2009, 03:32 PM

Meh, I can live without a tone knob. I have a guitar without one and I dont miss it, I have a guitar with one and I never touch it

I also see Halo have bought into this "super huge massive cutaway" thing, which I still think is totally useless.

I was thinking the same thing, actually.

I don't know if that's to get around neck dive, or just an odd design decision.

WannaBeGuitarPr · 01-03-2009, 04:40 AM

the cutaway is not so massive.. the only cutaway that can be described as massive is the EBMM JP's.
i really wanted to try and even buy some halos extended range' but after seeing this video i understand that they really suck. most stupid video i've ever seen.
they should delete it only because of the shame.

ps
he's a nerd and he sounds like a sick/raped/whatever duck

Erm, listen to him matey. Quite painful actually.

EDIT: I don't mean that the guitar plays badly, if that's how you read it

Ah right, that's where I got lost :p

darren · 01-03-2009, 10:54 AM

A guitar "review" that doesn't actually say anything substantive about the features, playability, tone or quality of the instrument is not very useful as a "review" and thus it's another futile attempt by Halo to generate positive "buzz" about their product.

canuck brian · 01-03-2009, 12:36 PM

I don't understand the huge cutaway and then having the higher frets inaccessible anyways......

Either the guy is small or that guitar is about 10% too big...

I dont' understand you guys ripping on the guy's chops. He's no Rusty and there are guys on here who can play better, but there are also guys on here who really wish they could play like that.

Adam Of Angels · 01-03-2009, 12:52 PM

I'm just irrepairably bitter over dudes that play with speed for the sake of speed, and then consider themselves musicians... AND have an ego about it. Not to say that this dude only plays for speed, but I have no evidence suggesting otherwise, and this video didn't make me want to hear his material OR try a Halo guitar.
