NGD: Dustin Kensrue StringRay

I am honestly still in a bit of shock that I now own this guitar. I remember seeing the MM/Dustin video a few years ago and being blown away by it. I am a huge Thrice fan, but I’ve haven’t/wouldn’t buy a signature just because of an artist I like… I would have to the love the guitar first and foremost.

I’ve never actually played an EBMM guitar before. Unless I’ve been blind, they just haven’t really been on my radar. It wasn’t until I started looking at this guitar that I’ve gone down the rabbit hole!

Being in the upteenth lockdown in Australia, I decided it was time to make this happen and bring some ‘joy’ to my world. I sold a Fender Jaguar I had since 2011 that was precious to me but rarely played and found a way to pay for it.
Now it’s in my hands, I am honestly lost for words. The neck, the finish, the frets, the tuners, the pickups and my lord, the tone! I’m in no hurry to pick up any of my other guitars for a while that’s for sure.

I’m starting to now experiment with the stereo output into my modeler and it’s opening up some very cool sounds! Lot’s to explore.
