Quotes

"It impresses via chunky, dense textured chord work and expressive sustaining solo abilities."
At one point Penn joked to the crowd: "I want to ask every woman here to turn to the man next to her and say I won't sleep with you tonight unless you make a big donation."
"The neck pickup is warm and buttery, with a clear, present top end. The bridge pickup is fat and honky, with a rich low end and great clarity. Combined, they sparkle and spank with clarity and punch. They’ll cover everything from 'OZ' rock to 'Nashville Super Pickers' and all points in between. We choose the humbucker size to make installation easier in a wider range of instruments.”"
