Each story is different and each artist comes under his/her own power. WE never ask an artist to leave the company whey are with. Here is the brief on most of them
Steve Morse. Met and became really close friends. He was a string endorsee and had the old Frankenstein Tele. He had no deal but had tried to work with Fender and Guils anbd was really frustrtated. I said let us try and we wont stop until till you fire us or are happy. He was reluctant because he felt that companies dont really listen just try to force their ideas on the artist. We proved him wrong.
John Petrucci John is managed by Frank Soloman who also manages Steve. JP was looking for a change and asked Frank if he knew any good USA guitar companies. Frank said that he should only talk to us and gave us a glowing recommendation ande so did a few other people in the business that I cant mention becuase they just might work for a company that supplies many guitar companies. JP and our team have just had a fabulous working and personal relationship.
Albert Lee. Albert is one of my oldest friends and I met him while still in High School. When he moved to America he was sleeping on my moms couch and actually played my high school winter dance formal. He used to use another string but started using ours. when I bought Music Man he was very interested in what DUdley and I were doing and played a silhouette about 50% of the time and wasnt convinced until I showed him the original guitar that Dudley made me for Christmas that I gave to Albert at the Ernie Balll COmapny xmas party that Biff Bays" played at
VInnie Moore. VIn Man was also represented by frank SLolman and the same basic deal as JP. We love VInnie and I think that he is a monster player and a really nice and funny guy.
Luke. Luke didnt follow DUdley to us. I met Luke through Jay Graydon. Jay is Lukes mentor and one dear friend of both of us. They were both involved in Vally Arts as endorsees but also as equity partners. Valley Arts went in the dumper and Luke was looking for a guitar. At the same itime I had started working with EVH and Luke was involved in that guitar.(he made the final selection on the pickups because EVH was toorn and said < "Luke ,You choose") Luke asked me if we wanted him as an artist. I told him I would have to ask EVH"s management as part of my deal was that EVH was the premier artist and they would get approval over any new sig artist. They actually balked and I said do you really want me to tell Luke that you wont let him aave a sig guitar? Thewy relented and The Luke was born and most of it was done with me as the point person via phone with Dudley. I was spending a lot of time in LA with EVH and Luke3 but really with Casey as he was in the process of haveing the six major operations at UCLa at that time.
Christopher Guest. Luke was producing Spinal Tap"s Break Like the Wind LP at Jay Graydons studio and I got to hang with the guys and Chris and I hit it off.
EVH I had been making the 5150 string and EVH had a deal with Kramer who was supposed to pay him royalties on the strings. I got a call from Barbara Page, ( one of the people I care the least for in the history of my career) wondering why I wasnt paying Kramer and I said I was. She said that she wanted an audit and I said I had zero obligation to her or Eddie as my deal was with Kramer but I would be happy to give her an audit if she asked Kramer for to supply one first. When she compared Kramer and Ernie Ball"s audit Kramer and Eddie were done. It was the shortfall in string sales that broke up that deal. was history. Our association with EVH was originally just let us make a guitar while he looks for a long term deal as we only made about 14 instruments a day. The guitar came out so well and we were able to pay EVH a decent amount and it was to be permanent but that was history because as we all know. I also set up the 5150 amp deal that payed EVH hundreds of thousands of doallars in the first year alone. I did this without compensation and Peavey showed their appreciation by signing EVH to the wolgang deal when we were parting ways. Please dont ask anymore about this as it just turns to ****.
Tony was with Music Man prior to our buying Music Man. when we took control Tony was the first artist that I contacted personally. I invited him to SLO and he stayed at my old house The Fun Ranch (Fun Ranch Boogie..) We got along real well and he has been a reall pleasure to work with. At firsst he didnt want to know anything technical and really didnt want to try much new. I made him some unique "fashion basses"
He has gotten more adventurous lately and is loving the BOngo and went through all of the the two pick up basses at the NAMM show this year. It is funny to watch important artists at the listening station with headphones on focusing just like a little kid
Flea was using the basses and really didnt have any direct connection with us. I invited him to slo to play in a The Mike Krukow Charity Golf Tournament ( former Cal Poly Alumni and Major League pitcher now broadcaster for the San Francisco Giants...has an orange axis) and he accepted. He showed up late barefoot and without a shirt golf clubs or balls. we got on pretty good. From there we supplied him with alot of basses and I hated ihis bass smashing phase. He left over money. He wanted a Flea signature Stingray and I said that wouldnt be right by Leo, Tony, Louis and all of the other stingray players. He said that his drummer was going to make a 100k from snare drum royalties and he wanted to make a cut on stingrays. I thought I had him calmed down but then I got wind of the Modulous deal and the last conversation was his atorney trying to tell me what I had to do and I said the only thing I really get to do is hang up on you....last contact. I wish that Flea and us could have split under better circumstances. I was right though
The funny story about Flea is that I asked him to do an ad for Slinky Bass strings that had just come out. he had the strings claimed to like them and I had a wacky shot of him and it said "Flea"s Gone Slinky" The ad came out and Flea said GHS called and was bummed and he didnt know he was doing a string ad.....
Üdv! MM tulaj lettem! ez lett végül a választott darab!!! Két éve Luke-ot szerettem volna, de végül kipróbáltam, s inkább a Silhouette Special jött be!
A design csak egy dolog, a lényeg úgyis az, ami mögötte van, azzal meg nincs hiba. Persze én háklis vagyok, nem veszek meg mindenféle gitárt, csak ha megfelel az elvárásaimnak.
Nem kezdenek. Ritka a gyönyörű top, de ez mindig is így volt. Persze ez ízlés kérdése, nekem nagyon kevés tetszett eddig, amit láttam, de mindegyik elkel, szóval..
Music Man Silhouette (Usa, H-S-S Dimarzio pickupok (hátsó felezhető), tremoló, felső satu, keménytok.), ára: 310

Mi mást tudnál még eladni? Egy Artist azért nem semmi! De hát ha nem tudod úgy kihasználni, akkor persze érthető a szándék!
