At the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, with the "revolutionary" Min_Etune (http://www2.gibson.com/Min-ETune/)
Because turning a knob is just too much work!
His stellar presentation sure makes me want to sell off some gear so I can buy one of these new beauties! :rolleyes:

good for you henry. just keep on wasting those millions of r&d dollars on this nonsense. :rolleyes:
-
He's quite the showman.
-
Haha first he says it cost millions of dollars to develop. Then he says it costs next to nothing for us.
Something doesn't add up :rolleyes:
And what is with the 1930's haircut and dito moustache?
-
Man if only I could get back that ten seconds of my life that it takes me to tune a guitar...

Funny I was thinking just how much he looks like John Waters :P
Seriously, hire a real spokesman. Surely, you could teach the Slap Chop sales dude a couple of chords and let him shill for you.

That dude's got some serious Rock-n-Roll bona fides as well.

Do you think the mustache is intended to be ironic?

Get some electric scissors.

Maybe Henry's auditioning for the John Waters role in a biopic about Divine.

Why not use the guy from the Firebird X demo, the one who looks like Dick Butkus. Between that guy, Henry and the creepy lighting from below, it would have the makings of a film noir classic.

LOL!

I don't know a toot about Henry, but does he actually play? You could put any product in there, drivers, rifles etc. and he'd look just as lost.

Am I an a$$hole or does that Guitar NOT sound in tune/?? there seemed to be Absolutely NO difference in sound before the 2 strums and after...am I high (No...I do Not smoke or ingest drugs of any type) ??? Or is this guy a Nutrod????

I think he's able to play a bit.

Doesn't sound in tune to me either.
-
A guitar for idiots. What makes me laugh the hardest is that his demo is sooooooooooooooooo annoying. Like the tuning song we all did before the advent of cheap portable tuners LMAO.
-
Would someone tell Henry that there IS a reason companies hire a professional spokesperson to present their products to the public.
Henry might be OK for selling coffins....

Give him credit - he so unfashionable it's already cultish again. The black outfit and the pencil moustache ain't bad, gives him something unsettlying, David Lynch style.
As for the guitar: If you are in a band that changes tunings from song to song, don't have a roadie to chang/throw guitars for/at you, then a guitar like that is probably more gentle on the nerves and patience of your bandmates and audience than anything else. There is a market, just not a very large one. Hopefully the tuning also works with the volume turned down though. There is only that many times you can play the intro of A Hard Day's Night at a gig and NOT follow it up with the song. :mrgreen:
