diablo175 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well, hot damn! Floyd Rose now has a FRT100 series trem- you get the whammy bar and springs- nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Interesting pickup arrangement... Can’t say I’d be getting one. Seems like it’s trying to be a little bit of everything. Which usually means it’s not very good at any of them... Maybe I’m wrong. One of you guys getting one can let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Michael Angelo Batio had a hand in the design. He is famous. Perhaps he can explain the positives of a shorter-than-short scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew816 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Holland and Nitro and their hit tune... Ahh, anyone know their hit tunes name? 😉 I like shorter scale and smaller neck profiles, but I think 5" is just a bit too small for even me. And by the way, he can really play; just not really my thing. Here he is, lost in the desert, luckily they have power somehow: Michael Angelo Batio "The Badlands" (Official Video) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a local clinic he gave, he was fun, a little too "on" sometimes, but nice dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Batio had a show at a club nearby. Cancelled. I wanted to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Prof Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'm sure he's cool and his dexterity and technique are quite obvious. That said, this kind of shit didn't age very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjammin308 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 That's the same scale length the Chipmunks use so you know it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 "Michael Angelo" as he was billed back in the eighties came to Discount Music in Orlando. They had a performance stage and "clinics" were the thing. I think, with the employees and guests, there were about fifteen people there. It was pathetic. My best friend Chris Lukasik (of Gibson Bolt fame) invited me to see "this guy that Ron Tunks (the local sales rep for anything top of the line) says is pretty good". I pulled into the parking lot and saw that there was no crowd. There was a Sobik's Subs next door and I decided to get a sandwich before the show. As I walked through the door, I see one guy at the counter with really good hair. It was Batio. I was immediately greeted by the owner with the perfunctory "Steak and Cheese"! I was there every Saturday for a long time. I mentioned to the guy with the hair that I guessed he was the clinic guest. We shook hands. I remember him introducing himself as Mike. When my order was ready, I just walked toward his table and he asked me to sit down. We discussed vintage guitars, favorite guitar players and his unique technique using the two-neck guitar. The clinic was pretty much Mike doing the two necked thing. I'd seen Stanley Jordan previously, so it was kind of under-inspiring. It was after the clinic that things heated up. Mike came back into the Service Department and asked Chris to set up and re-string the two neck wonder. Apparently, it played terribly (at that time). A guy in Atlanta had worked on it and F'd it all up. Chris fixed it in about twenty minutes. During that twenty minutes, Mike played my '65 SG Standard through a Boogie that was the test amp in the Service Department. The man has chops in all styles. I don't care what you think. I heard him play jazz, blues, and some really cool slide stuff with a slide that just covered your finger from knuckle to knuckle. He was just noodling. It was a really great experience and I remember it like it was yesterday. He was a real nice person and a fantastic talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
