New business... new guitar... new video

[mrpinter]

I launched Pinter Instruments a few months ago and have been putting our first prototype through it's paces. So far so good, and I haven't had this much fun in a LONG time. BTW, this IS Warmoth related - they make our body blanks and necks. Here is our first demo video to go on YouTube:

Nicely done! I like how the guitar itself is demonstrated, using its inherent characteristics. Too many demos run the instrument through a half dozen sfx, so you have no idea what it sounds like. This one lets you know what you're getting right up front.

It looks and sounds great. Well done!

I think it looks a little different but could appeal in different colours to different types of players. Good luck with the venture Michael.

Another video idea might be to also describe the specs, such as tuners, scale length and so forth.

Good thoughts Strat. Here are the available colors on our two basic models (6 string and 12 string):

As far as specs go, I decided for this first video to just focus on the look, feel and sound of the guitar. Some of the specs:
solid alder body with metallic finishes
24.75" scale length, pau ferro on maple neck
Righteous Sound pickups (this guitar has the Tiburon set)
Wilkinson Tremolo
Schaller mini locking tuners (but will be switching to Hipshot Grip Locks in near future)
extra jumbo 6100 frets

I'm starting to really like the shape of that guitar. I love the look of that Orchid 12 string model...Any chance on a 12 string demo sometime?

The thing about the shape is that it was designed first and foremost for ergonomics, then secondarily for looks (although I think it looks cool too). We are going to do three videos: this one; one for the model C (Country) which has vintage output hand wound pickups and coil splits; and the twelve string. I'm not sure which one we'll do next, but it will be within the next two or three weeks and may just be the twelve. The finished SB2 (twelve string) will have a body color headstock and will look more complete than the composite image in the color chart, with chrome pickup rings, etc.

Sounds awesome!

Looking good there, Mr P. Best of luck on your future endeavors.  :rock-on:
