Audio clip of the BT Labs Stage & Studio model guitar. This is a prototype that is now almost completed. This recording was made before the finish or binding was done and the neck was only roughed out. Good enough to be played but Brett Terrell was working under less than ideal instrument conditions. Though Brett is a classical guitar master and this is a steel string acoustic the balance, voicing and playability allowed him to perform music on this instrument that has never before been possible on a steel string guitar. This recording was done in one take with no overdubs or sound conditioning (except for a little reverb in the final mix). BT Labs is Steve Richards Chief of Operations, Ben Taylor President R&D, Ron Beach VP Engineering, and Andy Meyer VP Beta Productions. The first limited production run is scheduled to begin last quarter 2009.
