    Most guitarists who get signatures made: "This guitar is fine tuned, to replicate my sound and be as delicate as possible while doing so." Devin Townsend: "My guitar is a truck". God I love him so.

    Yes, he left another company who wouldn’t make his guitar specifically how he wanted and moved to a high-end custom shop in Framus to ignore the specs.

    Reminds me of Gibson ripping people off with over priced guitars. I'm not saying they shouldn't be worth a small premium but I've played guitars less that 500 quid which has sounded ten fold better and for a lil more money you can just update a few things. I'd take a grestch jet duo over a les paul easily any day and it's less than half the price.

Devin should get Framus to send out a bunch to some youtubers, get us really hooked but I suspect Music Man is pushing the general public more than Framus is with this guitar so Framus probably doesnt care. Both ooze quality though, it a shame we can only get that at thier price range.
