Omnichord in da house

Ive used it on my song "icemans ghost" on www.myspace.com/arneskage

G# guitar finally arrives

great little shortscale guitar, made in china for luthier Øyvin Fjeld. As the name indicates its normal pitch is tuned to g -sharp, rich, full sound, almost "acoustic" tone with lots of overtones.

I Love E-bay

Cheesy rythms and atmospheric strumming... is all in the mighty omnichord, I just can't wait til I get it "in da house"
