Well Steve (Past Carin' and solo Artist) was at the club last night and took the 700A through it's paces.
I've heard Steve play Doro's steel for over 10 years and last night he was well on form!
At the après sing/play I got Steve to try out the 700a (through an AER Compact 60) first of all he went through the standard guitars - very impressed.
He then tried out the round neck as he went to re-tune to open tuning I stopped him and pressed the control knob - he was confused how the guitar had re-tuned itself and eager to get his bottle neck out. The next 45 mins we were all entertained by his playing (even the Landlord came across and joined us!)
As a listener I can say I was well impressed how the 700a performed The sound was right to my ears and Steve was obviously enjoying playing it as a)He wouldn't stop and b) He kept trying new things Old things all interspaced with positive comments and disbelief.
The outcome - Steve is going to buy one, I'm totally convinced that the 700A was worth every penny (and more) and I'm also going to buy a bottle neck and start practising so I can get even more out of this great guitar. -
