Looks totally awkward to me. You can't pick and use the whammy at the same time. Jeff Beck won't be an endorsee for sure.
Finally, I love the sentence....

"something we can do unique to the P-whammy bar, we can get a trill out of it kinda like what van halen does"

Did Van Halen have a p-whammy ? .. No. So is it unique.... No.

Lol.

Worst pickup line ever!

The smaller size does not catch on things and is always in the right place waiting for you.

I'm kind of leery about buying improvements from guitarists who sound like crap - I mean, it might work, you know what I mean. When I saw it, I thought it'd be neat to hook your little finger under it while you play, but Rudolph there hasn't quite built up to the "do two things at once" ethos yet.  :dontknow:

The good news is, you can take your whammy bar down to the hardware store, buy a matching bolt and a few nuts and washers and fashion your very own out of pine scraps in an hour.... maybe it really IS the Next Big Thing and it'll Save the World from yet another crappy "Little Wing" cover on YouTube. Somebody wake me up when the excitement starts.

This totally seems pointless to me..

I keep wondering what the guy's thinking about, too. I can't see a single advantage to the thing, and several drawbacks.

That's exactly  what I was thinking

It's just terrible. It's almost as if someone set out to design an awkward, castrated version of a whammy intentionally.

From the website:

"The P-Whammy has been called 'revolutionary' and 'the best thing for guitarists in thirty years!'"

Come on man. No one ever said that.

+1.

You can pretty much only use it on sustaining notes, because your right hand can't pluck AND whammy at the same time.  :sad:

Come on man. No one ever said that.

they might have :laughing11: i don't like it. not only are the uses really limited, but it looks like somebody stuck a money clip on their guitar's trem. just... weird.

 

[JamesL]

Besides, is there ANYTHING that this can do that a wilky or floyd can't?

Nope, totally pointless...

....revolutionary my ass...

The P-Whammy is 'revolutionary' and 'the best thing for guitarists in thirty years!'

P-Whammy = Pointless whammy

 

[Panthur]

What I wanna know is what happened 30 years ago that was so revolutionary ?.

Key-tar?

I think it is just another case of someone trying a new idea, I think it looks awkward to use. I am not much of a wammy guy but when I do use a wammy I prefer DOS EQUIES

 

[rapfohl09]

Sooooo he took a tremolo bar and cut it short?

That's what it looks like. Not exactly "revolutionary". Guys have been shortening and re-bending vibrato arms for years, pretty much ever since such a thing existed. They just didn't generally take them down to nearly useless little nubbins.
