Here's a video of Bob Spector and the Britney Shane Band, on one of my LSs, playing at Café du Nord on Thursday night, May 8th. The song is from Brit's new CD, and it's called "Over My Shoulder". The audience really got fired up--fingers pointed, cheers, people moving to the front of the room for a better look, and lots of cameras came out. This geetar makes any player the center of attention for sure!

Very cool Paul! I was wondering do the LED's fade much, on and off? It seemed to be pretty much all LED's on from that clip. Due to the settings the guy was using I assume?

True, Graham. It was his first time on stage with it, and he inadvertently turned the sensitivity knob all the way up...I wanted to jump up there and turn it down!

Paul,

I love watching and reading about your creations with all things Rickenbacker.

It's your attention to detail that I find most impressive. There's an 331 on ebay right now (as Im sure most are aware) and when I compared photos of this original with your 21st century light show, Im not surprised that you have managed to match the front plastic sheet material very well indeed. Im sure a great deal of research went into making this so close to those originals. Very, very impressive eye for detail as always!

Love these projects.

Thanks,

Si.......

Thank you very much, Si...it looks like the same material, because it is the same. Took a bit of tracking down, but I've got lots of it now!

Hi Paul,

I missed this earlier. Thanks for turning me on to Britanny Shane. Nice voice a bit like Aimee Mann. That just cost me a few iTunes downloads!

Songs have interesting compositions.
