THE NEW SOUND IS STEEL
I was stuck wondering if there were new songs hiding in this rosewood or that rosewood, a small body guitar or large, between A5 or A2 magnets. I didn’t find what I was looking for and the revolving door of gear continued. What I found out was to find the new sound you have to swing the search really wide.
To create inspiration you have to be exposed to something unexpectedly new. That newness teaches you to think differently, to play differently and make different musical choices. That creates songs. I find these resonators wake up my ear like nothing else, and when I go back to other guitars I hear them in a new way. Round and round it goes. That’s incredibly valuable. I’m here to give you that same experience. " - Matt Eich
