jason becker film

[sonicsamurai]

i read about them supposedly making one on wikipedia - any info?

also i read that fender and charvel are making guitars for it which might be turned into ltd ed models. a) sounds cool if its true but b) becker has never used a charvel so why? why don't they use his actual guitars?

discuss

I just found this right before I checked here, pretty sweet sounding. Glad to see he can still compose, and very well at that. Great job by Michael Lee Firkens on the execution, some very tasteful playing/composition.

When AMIC still owned Jackson, Kevin Easton was looking into making a Becker tribute model, and a guitar (or maybe 2) was built, based on Jason's Peavey which had been sent to Jackson. The guitar I know of was made in the Japanese factory, but there may have been a USA guitar as well...

As I understand it, this project was killed off when FMIC took over...

i had an email exchange with his mom a few years ago - at that point he had stopped composing. he was too frustrated with the tools.

here is one of the prototypes i got from easton. this is how it came to me:


this is what it looks like now (except the knobs are different):

thats cool except the strat head sucks and its odd that its minus a floyd which jason uses extensively :S
