Skyway
Had a great time with Rick and the boys on Sunday. Man I can't get the sound of that tremolo out of my head, and it's a looker to boot.

Is that a Skyway on that axe? Do you have any closer pictures/anything showing the face of the guitar?

i got a crack at that axe for an entire jam tune & gotta say that's - wait, let me think about this...okay - mebbe the perfect vibrato. i was divebombing all over the place, chorusing, pulling up a whole step, then a minor third (just enough so i could hear it & not bug the other players)...and when it was all over, played me an A6 and the intonation was right where i started.

wunnerful. well done, Rick

Is there a link to the Skyway tremolo? I can't find anything googling it. TIA, MG.

I'm really looking forward to getting my new Chapin with my Skyway....it was the final ingredient in putting that guitar completely over the top and I can't wait to develop my technique around it.

2nd & 3rd together, some. 2nd & 3rd & 4th separately for single-note stuff.

and whole chords (six-finger 7ths & five-finger 9ths & a couple 5-string 13ths) (mostly half-step & whole-step)

Can anyone compare the skyway to hipshot. Is it that much better as far as functionality goes? Tonally I would imagine it would be fairly hard to compare (variables).
