Muris, aren't you endorsed by them?
How did that happen?

Posted by: Muris Jan 18 2008, 10:19 PM

Yes I am.

I think we got connected on MySpace or som,not sure really

Haha, cool idea. Much more portable than a real guitar. Doesn't ship to NZ though.

That's pretty cool! SamAsh music has them for 45usd. I may stop in sometime and pick one up - would be nice for work - kinda like a stress toy, but could really help with some dim chords and what not.

Ohh,sorry to hear that

Maybe they have dealer near you?

I don't know, I haven't seen any of them in the guitar shop.

The shredneck is a very cool idea! If you have a long travel you can practice during it. Who knows how much does it cost?

Yeah,I was driving to the seacoast last summer with shredneck in my left hand.

Dunno about the price tho but I guess it isn't that much expensive...


Just read above,45usd in SamAsh

I couldn't believe it when I saw the picture! This thing is unreal!, but I'd love one to practice when I go on a trip and I can't take my guitar!

There are even gig bags and stands for the shredneck LOL

When Im in work i mentally play everything I practice!! Im always counting out rythms in my mind too - im probably completely nuts

Posted by: Muris Jan 18 2008, 11:30 PM

Nope,that's not madness but motivation and loyalty,no worries

Posted by: mattacuk Jan 18 2008, 11:33 PM

on the back of my ipod case i drew six strings and frets so if i hear i song i know how to play i just use that to pretend im playing. Imagination required.

I go crazy with out guitar, but don´t like things that doesn´t tune.
Look for something like a lapstick but look for someone that makes you a cheaper one.

Posted by: Muris Jan 19 2008, 03:52 PM

Well,guess you don't need tuning for just stretching exercises
