Now THAT would be a sweet combination indeed. I'm a big fan of Kleins ever since Lorenzo forced one into my grubby hands at a Nashville NAMM 7 or 8 years ago. But . . . it's pretty unlikely that I could ever afford one, plus there's the other problem . . . I'm a Sustainiac Model B user . . . so where do you put the driver/ transducer when there's no headstock? Forget the Roland GK pickup (and other paraphernalia) I'm so fond of. Oh . . . (FWIW) This is waaaaay of the "loop" topic (BTW). But I own a small number of nice guitars, a bass and some other stringed instruments . . . but what I play most (95% of the time) is a '77 Gibson RD Artist with Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB pickups, a beta-test Duncan ToneCircuit preamp/ compressor replacing the RD's original electronics, a Kahler tremolo and a Roland GK-2 hex pickup. I never play it without the GR-1 or the Sustainiac. So, because of all the extra hardware that is attached to it, I often refer to it as the "Borg" guitar. It's not a pretty sight. Whatever "vintage" or "rare and collectable" value it might have had is totally screwed. But it's been my steady favorite since 1980 when I rescued it from a small shop where it had hung unplayed for literally years (one of Gibsons many "Edsels" from the '70s). They sold it too me at their cost -- half the list price and threw the hardshell case in for free (it wouldn't fit anything else). Heh, heh, heh. It's a heavy piece of furniture however. So, whenever my back hurts I bang on a lightweight, GK-equipped Danelectro Hodad baritone. The hex pickup is more expensive than the guitar -- which I got from Musician's Fiend at a blowout price of $69.00. I use the Sustaniac and the GR-1 with that low-budget low-rider too. Don't say it! I KNOW I'm a weirdo . . . oh well. Ted Killian
