Where did you see these?

That is rather sweet. Very nice playing and the musical ideas suit the sound very well. Something to aspire too!

Unfortuanately i've left my EZAG at home due to not having enough space here at University.. Think i'm gonna be missing it soon..

Just an update. My AZ EG turned out to be faulty so I returned it to the shop and got a refund (£160). I found one on thomann.de for £70 +£10 postage which arrived this morning - a saving of £80 and more if you consider the price in Argos and other stores of £200.

It makes playing all the sweeter getting one so cheaply :)

Sweet! :)

I keep hoping to find them cheap in the States someday. I'd like to add an -AG to my -EG, at the very least!

I just got EZAG and I'm loving it.

The little speciality apps are awesome, I am totally grateful for all the hard work you guys put into this. I've been wanting one of these since I frist saw this thread about a year ago!

Markleford, My fav of yours is 10 and 11.

I'm having some trouble getting Marc's to work. Is there supposed to be presets? I also can't get midi to run through it. I've gone up to page 18, but on dial up this is a killer.

any help would be much absolutely wonderful!

Thanks,

dw

Hi,
Midi out (to the host, synth) must be set in:
Left Split (MIDI OUT)

EZ-AG/EG(MIDI OUT) is only used for showing chords/scaled on the EZ (leds).

For the presets, you will have to create them yourself. I think there's a tool-tip for each control, so it shouldn't be to difficult, but feel free to ask.

Hi Tony, I was lookimg at Thomann because I too would like to buy an EZ-EG, but I can't find it, they seems to have only the AG model (and I would like to have the tremolo bar). Do you know if the one you bought was the last one?

regards

Project

Good to hear I've got another potential user. ;)

Some new features should be on the way soon.

Markleford is outrageously good with his EZ-EG. Program's pretty great too.
Grist for the glamour mill.

Thanks, man! :lol:

Sorry Project, that was my mistake - it was actually the EZ Ag that I bought. Apologies for the confusion.

Drop them an email and ask if they can get one for you, they are very helpful.

Thanks Tony, the EZ-AG is listed on the website, I'll email them to see if is available and how much is shipping cost to Italy

I was looking at these for my 9yr old son. Would an average 9yr old be able to handle an EZ guitar comfortably?

Post

Yes, they are fairly small: only 12 frets on the neck.

The fret-buttons are easy to press, too: he wouldn't need as much finger strength as a normal guitar.

Some of you may know that I just bought a EZAG.

I noticed today that the higher strings are alot looser than the lower strings.

Is this normal?
