This is a creative new tool in the world of guitars. Extremely veristile in 32 distinct ways: Blend of Midi 13 pin, Piezo Acoustic with onboard EQ and 2 humbuckers on top of all the customn features that make JDG Guitars so special.
We are extremely happy at JDG, that Steve Rothery, famed guitarist for Marillion, has chosen JDG for his first line of instruments and his signature guitar. The SR model is the result of close work with Steve resulting in a guitar that embodies the tonal qualities Steve is known for (singing sustain, articulate note bloom and uncompromising tone).
Steve also specified piezo saddles with on-board preamp, and full midi capabilities.

No, they’re absolutely fine! My two main guitars are that one and every album from 1991 onwards is my (Levinson) Blade Strat, an RH-4. Again that is just one in a million. You can’t get a bad sound out of it, it’s incredibly versatile, incredibly stable and those two guitars are what I do 95% of my live work with.
