Wow. This is absolutely beautiful. This is some truly masterful guitar playing right here. I'm stunned.

Consider it done.

Haha, here's the best part; my most recent submission was rejected by a vote of 3 No, 0 Yes. Guess which three judges?

Ooh, damn, I like it. I don't hear much frozen flame in there, though. I hope you guys finish this, whether or not it ends up on the project.

I hadn't seen that before. And holy monkeyfucking shit, the fretless neck sounds gorgeous. How's that set up? I mean, the description says it's a fretless with a sustainer, but what's a sustainer? Is it just compression, or is there something more to it? I would assume it adds a lot of sustain? There might be some problems getting a long note out of a fretless guitar for some reason. My question was how it adds sustain. But sixto already answered my question on IRC.

I guess it depends on your tastes :D:D He's not playing the solo in that video; he's finger-synching. Or trying to, and failing miserably. I have a hunch that solo wasn't even recorded on the quad guitar.

Ok, looks like I'll be the first to give a direct answer to your question: How much would it cost? Thousands. Note the use of plural. Any custom guitar is gonna be expensive, and one as bizzarre as this may well cost upwards of ten thousand dollars. Where could you get one? Well, I don't know of any big guitar company that would do anything like this, which means you'd have to contact a luthier (guitar maker) in person. (please allow me to take this opportunity to pimp my cousin's business: he makes very good, completely custom-built guitars. He doesn't have a website, but you can e-mail him at rebickguitars at earthlink dot net. Honestly, though, I'm not sure if even he'd do something like this.) Now the answer to the question you SHOULD be asking: is this a good idea? No. First of all, this design would be a huge pain in the ass to build, to play, and to store. Honestly, such a guitar would have almost no use beyond decorative, "wow that looks cool" effect. It would weigh a ton and make your shoulders and back sore very quickly. It would be rediculously off-balance on the strap, so you'd pretty much need a third hand to hold it in place while you play it. And it would most likely sound like shit, no matter how well it's built. In short: if you have more money than you know what to do with and want this guitar solely for the purpose of looking cool, you might try contacting my cousin (rebickguitars at earthlink dot net), or searching for other luthiers to build you one. Don't expect any luthiers to take you seriously unless you're offering exorbitant sums of money. In shorter: forget it. This idea of yours, creative though it may be, is never going to happen.

I thought Antisheep was doing something for the Gale mix along with fishy and sixto?

w00t!

OMG CHIXXOR?!? As I've said before, this mix is beyond awesomeness.

God damn I wish I had the money to take advantage of some of these deals

Icecap lol. Pretty straightforward, but nicely executed.

Mm... love those guitars. Very well done. Hats seem a bit too hissy, but that doesn't seriously detract from the mix.

Just booked a room.

stfu, mustin; you didn't even show up last year ;p Anyway, mustin speaketh the truth. Whatever you have to do to get to MAGfest, it'll be worth it.

I said if you have room. If having me along will force you to take two cars, I can get another ride.

Kit, I'll be riding with you if you have room.

Kitsuta, don't forget I'm taking one of those spots in that car -- or had you already factored that in?

Looking at the VGmix thread, it looks like Zyko's comming Also, are we perhaps making this topic too early? I mean it is still two months away.

See? It's unanimous for Chrono Cross. wait... *stabs zircon* There, now it's unanimous.

Chrono Cross. Seriously, did you think it would be any contest?

Awesome mix.

Depends on the amp, depends on the guitar.
