Lightshows...

Post by tennis_nick »

I've never actually seen what a lightshow does! I just assume that they look really really cool!

Can someone who owns one post a video of what their lightshow does when they play? Or if it's easier, does anyone have a video stashed away somewhere that shows this? If you could put it on Youtube it'd be really cool!

While we wait... why not post pictures?!

It's like having your own Hipgnosis in your guitar...

That was the night that I wished I was Kenny.

My site has a video with my two LS's and Kenny's. I think there is a link there to Kenny's video also.

Link is in my profile.

You'll need Quicktime to view it...

You know John, you are taking far too much risk keeping all those LS together in one place. You should instead use geographical dispersion to mitigate your risk of a single-point multiple-item casualty loss. So, we should talk seriously about you wisely and conscientiously spreading your risk out by sending one of them to me Image Image

Ken, that is a great shot.

It's really just a few little lights on, in a guitar, why is it so cool?!!!

Like a Lemmy, it amazes me that RIC would take so much time and effort to go over the top on pieces like these. I'm very glad they did.
I'm just happy to be here.

I think it'd look cooler if the lights would swarm around the face of the guitar in the pattern of the swirl and change colors with pitch, but for what it is, lightshows look real cool!

just noticed the "6th" knob up by the R tail piece, is that some sort of control for the lights?

It's the sensitivity pot.
