Stetsbar

	Stetsbar Pro II The Stetsbar Pro II development splits the pitch movement of the Stetsbar into seperate up and down actions. This enables the Stetsbar to handle string breaks without detuning, support alternative drop tunings and manage higher string guages. The stop-tail Stetsbar's cosmetic appearance has also changed with the square base plate replacing the rounded base as the standard offering. These bases are available in gold, nickel, chrome and black.
	The Stetsbar Ten There is no doubt that we have a great bunch of Stetsbar users out there but this is going to be difficult to top! Marcelino Diaz Jnr has amassed an awesome collection of Stetsbar equipped axes. Here's what Marcelino said when he sent his picture (left) in: "Enclosed are images of the guitars transformed by your wonderful tremolo system(s). These were a long-time coming, but I hope you like the shots. You've built the better mouse-trap!!! I'm a devoted fan and user. I believe you made something above and beyond the ordinary; adding sweetness to my guitars, without changing the taste. I'm not someone who will hack up my guitars to get them to do what they weren't made to do, but somehow, you figured out a wonderful way that lets me keep my precious babies intact and expand their sonic palette. On top of that, you care about your product and help me any time I need anything to make my Stetsbars perfect. I know you think I need electro-convulsive shock therapy for picking up so many, but I love them and I still want a few more :)" Can anybody beat that?

	Ladd Smith Crowned Guitar Player Magazine's Guitar Hero 2007 - With his Stetsbar equiped G&L ASAT Ladd Smith triumphed in this prestigious competition Friday, October 12 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Ten tremendously talented players were roundly applauded by celebrity judges Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Nuno Bettencourt, Elliot Easton, Greg Howe, and Mike Varney. In the end, they chose Ladd Smith from Nashville, Tennessee as the champion, Les Robot from Edmonton, Alberta as first runner-up and Danny B. Harvey from Canyon County, CA, as second runner-up. "What a celebration of white-hot, burning guitar!" said Guitar Player Editor in Chief Michael Molenda. "All ten contestants were simply awesome -- on fire, in fact - and the crowd was devouring every run, riff, and lick. It was great to see such enthusiasm over transcendent guitar playing, as you certainly don't hear these styles very much on radio or television these days. Ladd Smith took the GH07 championship because his 'Outrun the Train' was a thrill ride of furious note barrages, clean-toned spank, and country melodicism," continued Molenda. "It's incredibly difficult to play fast runs so pristinely - without a little help from distortion or sustain from the amp - and the judges acknowledged this in their decision." Ladd had this to say about his winning the Guitar Hero 07 Competition; "This has been the most incredible thrill for me personally. It was such an honor to even be chosen to be a part of the event and I was just so happy to be there. I had absolutely no expectations to win, especially after hearing the contestants rehearse at sound-check and I'm still recovering from the shock. For us to be able to go into a primarily rock dominated event representing Nashville Country Music and being able to demonstrate the complexity and intelligence of what the genre can be, that's what I'm most proud of. We're just so thankful." Ladd is already back to work on his forthcoming album set to release Spring '08. More details can be found on Ladd Smith's website
