TheJPomp Nope. Just look at it. It's huge! It was custom made just for Devin. Besides the lasers, lights and the smoke machine, it has an extended scale length. That means that the distance between the bridge and the nut is longer than in a normal guitar, making it a baritone guitar. It also has an Evertune bridge, which keeps it from going out of tune under most conditions. Evertune systems are also pretty heavy compared to other bridge types.

This is both hilarious and epic at the same time!

Devin is incredible. I have been waiting for this type of music for a long time. I learned about him a few months ago. The musical genius behind his theatrical and musical performance is phenomenal. All of the progressive music is coming from Canada or Europe. It's great to hear complex music and hear someone with an operatic voice.

Это просто гениальная, мега-эпичная песня! И исполнение на уровне: классно расположены участники на сцене, костюмы подобраны, и главное - внимание к мелочам. Супер-хор, Дэвин рычит, барабанщик вставляет триоли. Кстати, лидер мне Бубновского напоминает)))

Very pleasant surprise seeing Devin on tour with Dream Theater. It was a fucking blast!

That set is amazing. I love the costumes.

Sometimes you are not that small, it's just that the V is too big.

that has to be one of the coolest V's i've ever seen
