I hold U.S. Patent # 6,657,112 for an electric guitar innovation which 
could 
be worth millions. It's not for everyone, it works for people who like to 
play with effects - tremolo, wah, whammy, etc. In a preferred application 
I 
have taken a Roland Expression pedal and placed it in such a position that 
a 
twist of the neck activates the effect - whatever effect the performer 
wants. Caught you by surprise didn't I! Guitar necks don't twist in 
relation 
to the body. That is the innovation for which I was awarded the patent. 
But 
it wouldn't do anything (except look so strange that it floors people - 
and 
there is some merit in this) without placing a potentiometer at this 
junction, and this is also covered in the patent. This could operate 
effects 
like tremolo, but the real value will be the unlimited effects that can 
usually be run by the expression pedal. Therefore, I am seeking a master 
guitarist who regularly uses an expression pedal and has the necessary 
midis 
(or whatever) to demonstrate this effect. You would have to seriously 
practice with my prototype and master the technique by January, when we 
will 
show the invention at the Namm show in Los Angeles. I will pay the 
exorbitant fee for a small booth in the innovations section of the show, 
and 
you will sit there and play the guitar and generate interest until the 
guitar manufacturers fall all over themselves offering us big money to 
license or buy out the patent. You will have to be very good and 
accomplished to get their attention, but that's why you are starting out 
as 
a master and will be spending about 10 hrs a week practicing.

For your trouble in all this, I am offering 15% of the patent rights. This 
is in the form of a patent assignment, and is an airtight method by which 
you own 15% of any and all royalties and proceeds. Check this all out with 
the U.S.P.T.O. at the toll free number: 1-800-786-9199; and, or see their 
web site at: www.uspto.gov. You will get no money up front. You will have 
to 
cover your own travel, accommodations, etc. at the trade show. You will 
get 
the assignment even if no one buys our patent at the time, as long as you 
have mastered and play the instrument well at the show. If years later I 
get 
some one to license or buy the patent, you will still get 15% of the 
proceeds. If you are not able to show reasonable progress within a short 
time, I will have to find a different person because I can't spend the 
thousands of dollars on the Namm booth if we cannot make a good 
presentation. So only contact me if you are serious and can commit to the 
practice time. You must provide the amps and midis (or whatever) that the 
guitar and expression pedal need - but you already have these or you 
wouldn't be answering this add. A plus if you have musical degrees from 
accredited schools. A plus if you are versed in Blues. A plus if you are 
with a working band and perform regularly. [Before long, I suspect that 
you 
could play this guitar during some of your bands set (the instrument is a 
beautiful Carvin and naturally plays like a dream when the twist effect is 
not engaged) and skyrocket your bands popularity by virtue of the novelty; 
all the while practicing and mastering the effect.] Get back to me through 
this e-mail address, or (better) call. GZ - 415-669-7837
