Note: The microphone was only on the guitar amp. When Horst switches to the? acoustic the mic stayed on the amp but the sound was coming from the Bose Stick. But it gives you an idea.





That James Tyler headstock must be changed! please , it spoils the whole look of the new Variax and puts it in the cheapie’ league.
