I have a minimalistic stringed playing platform, a Gittler Guitar . A two channel valve amp and effects processor (AXE FX III), and guitar to midi processor (GR-55)
100%T 50%B is my favourite,, probably because it is the closest to my Steinberger.
I have played it through my complete rig, from clean ambient to full on OD heavily effected madness and I really like it, f I had the money I would buy one.
I have 3 guitars: an Steinberger GP, a "partscaster" and a Yamaha 510V (with a grover perfect nut to use it as a pedal steel), all in different alternate tunings.
I love rare guitars with amazing tuning stability, haha.
Here is the file , narration on 100% left Guitar on 100% right the file is not normalised so you can experience the gain boost of the Treble and Bass, the format is Description-the Rush (C chord )-Down on Terminal Street (Alex Leifson style)-Yes ( Steve Howe's sliding D aka You and I). So it a lot of strings and up and down neck. Enjoy.
The big advantage of the Gittler is the Roland compatibility and stability of tuning and sustain. I get the points about lack of character owing to "No Wood" , but its pure minimalistic mechanics coupled with an AXE-FX3/GR-55 is a liberation not a hinderance. Even just going via a valve amp the guitar sings.
As it has no pickup selector , I will organise some files for the tone swing.
E.g. T0 B0, T50% B0%, T100% B0%, T50% B50%, T0% B50%, T0% B100%, and T100% B100%.
I will play the same chord G shape at the 8th fret,(opening picked chord from RUSH's la Villa Stangiarto. <String>(fret)- E(8)A(7)D(0)G(0)B(8)e(8))) then some odd little bits.
Thanks , that was more than I expected!

Congratulations for your guitar, it is unique.

Thanks a lot!
Great!
If you don't mind, could you upload a (few) DI tracks so I can put them through my own rig to compare the sound with my Steinberger?
Thanks in advance
Rig Update
Wow, love that guitar, it looks super space-aged. Does it not feel weird to play though without a fretboard for your fingertips to land on?
