Sep 13, 2009 - I think Jimmy Page has one of these guitars and did a lot of playing with it in the 70s and 80s in his home studio?

Sep 14, 2009 - Meh. While this is cool and useful, it's hardly awesome. No, awesome is watching Adrian Legg twist the Keith tuner pegs on all 6 strings as he's playing. If you think this is "awesome", seeing Adrian Legg will make you wet your pants.

Oct 2, 2009 - Can you "lock" this device when you just want to use the guitar "straight"... does it have a parking position? - I have wanted one of these since about '73 and could just about afford one now.

Oct 21, 2009 - the guitar is normal until you push the neck down; no prob.

johnkiene Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - Marty bought Clarence's guitar. Notice the additional thickness of that guitars body.

mosrite60 Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - Okay. But did Fender produce any tele models based on Clarence's (Parsons) invention? Or is the only guitar around the one Marty still uses. Which other notable players used this model.

incongra Says:

codip426440 Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - Was that a riff he just wrote at the end or is it part of a song? It's amazingly perfect.

peterpterodactyl Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - Does it remind you of "Weed, Whites, and Wine?" I think I hear that there
