\n\nJust tried a killin’ guitar here in the lab…the LightWave Atlantis Guitar. I was really surprised how great this guitar feels, plays and sounds. Cool electro-acoustic!

Hanging out at the lab at LightWave Systems with CEO Christopher Willcox with this surprising Taylor bass conversion.<\/p>\n

\n\nHere’s a close-up of the Taylor conversion. Body is huge but tapered, the neck is slender and fast. Sounds really good. This was an impressive instrument.

\n\nAfter my amazing tour of LightWave Systems, and a great lunch with Chris Willcox…I’m getting the nickel tour of Santa Barbara with John Devereaux. I don’t want to go home! It’s so pretty here.
