Hi all!
Has anyone ever heard about this Italian new brand?
I dig that vibrato tailpiece, very eccentric:

He got a myspace page and there you can see more images of his guitars:

To me it looks a bit 'Rickenbackeresque' with a skull-motif tailpiece to boot; the strings are retained where 6 front teeth used to sit

You said it, gplayer. I'm looking at some more of their designs and they are downright repulsive. I dig that!

I like it. I'd take that in a 12 string version. I'll bet that Jack White would love beating the crap out of that one.

Hey Aaron, ...not just you
Back in the sixties our country was proud to have a very popular piano player/composer who also sang as he played. He suffered from the same affliction as Ray and wore dark glasses too.
The joke went around as follows: You would pose the question to somebody at random: "Did you see J. de Korte's new piano yet?" ten times out of ten the answer would be "no" and then you would retort: "nor did he..."
OK, OK, I'm off, before someone attacks me now...
