Michele Mercure

I wanted to share with all of you some photos and testimony from Michele Mercure herself on our guitars. The e-mail from her is below after playing our guitar on her new project.

Be sure to check out her webpages, www.thisgirlsmusic.com & www.myspace.com/michelemercure to read and hear more from Michele.

Thank you so much for letting me borrow this Composite Acoustic guitar. I am so impressed. I’d heard about these guitars that were made of something other than wood and sort of just wrote them off because of my assumption that they wouldn’t sound natural. Well, I was really wrong about that. This guitar sounds stunning to me. It’s tone is rich and full and I’m sure that there’s no one on the planet that can tell that this guitar isn’t made out of wood. As you know, my style of guitar playing presents certain challenges for guitars. I use a lot of extreme tunings and I play completely up and down the neck and sometimes I use a capo. This presents real problems for me with tuning and intonation issues particularly as I play towards the body of the guitar. With the Composite Acoustic guitar I don’t have these problems. It’s just always in tune. At every fret. Some of the tunings I’ve tested it with are. DADGAD, AADGBE,(low A is really low!) GGCGGC, and of course standard. I've been using this guitar for recording as well. As you know, the score for our Feature film HOME is primarily acoustic guitar with piano and some strings. I’ve been using the pickup directly from the guitar for recording. I’m going into your Universal Audio pre amp and I’m sure that makes a difference but it really sounds awesome. No mic required. So I can just sit in front of my pro tools rig and record away. It’s very freeing. I should also mention that I love the way this guitar feels when I hold it. It’s not heavy or awkward. It feels perfectly balanced. The neck feels just the right size for my hand. and also....it looks sexy as hell! I’m not sure what it is about this guitar but I truly feel inspired when I play it. And I think I really do play better when I play this guitar. Maybe you will let me have some kind of visitation rights because I’m going to feel truly sad when I have to give this guitar back to you. So, Thanks Bruce. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. If your company has a logo we would be happy to put it at the end of the film with the other important logos we will be showing. Just let me know and send a jpeg to me if you have one.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

MARCEL

Marcel is traveling the Country on a radio tour. Check out his videos below to see him playing his GX Performer.

Heartland

I thought I would share a video of Heartland playing their X Performer and Legacy on their radio tour. The guys are gearing up to go into the recording studio to record their new CD. Stay tuned for further updates, video and photos.

Matt Papa

He may only be 23-years-old, but Matt Papa possesses a maturity in both his artistry and spirituality well beyond his years. Perhaps that's why this accomplished singer/songwriter and musician has been leading worship since age 14 and has been touring the country upon graduating college, working with organizations such as Student Life, Campus Crusade for Christ, Georgia Baptist Convention, Ohio Baptist Convention, David Nasser Outreach, Wayfarer Ministries, and SWAT Ministries. All the while, the Georgia-bred troubadour with a degree in guitar performance from Truett-McConnell College has been continuously refining his craft, ministering to sizeable audiences and gearing up for his forthcoming debut, You Are Good, on new label Spin 360.

RED

November 13TH the RED Deluxe Edition came out in stores nationwide" End Of Silence" which was mixed in 5.1 surround sound. I wanted to post a portion of this DVD of Anthony performing live with his GX Performer. The photo of Anthony performing is with his Custom painted GX Performer with "End Of Silence" across the top. I attended this show in Knoxville and had a great time. Unfortunately, 24 hours later the band would be in a terrible accident on their way home. Anthony sent me photos of the accidnet which occured around 6:30 in the morning just within the city limits of Nashville on their way to unload their van and trailer to load up on their new custom bus which was waiting on them. The guys are lucky to be alive, thankfully everyone is recovering from bruises and scrapes.
