DJ Monopoli (TeraBrite) with his Merus 7-String Guitar

I recently caught up with DJ Monopoli to see how things were going with him and the Halo Merus 7-string guitar he picked up from us a few months ago. I was glad to learn that the Halo was serving him well. He gave the guitar 5 out of 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars

“This is quite literally the best guitar I have ever played in my entire life. It looks great, feels great, and sounds amazing! That aside though, what makes this guitar shine is the EverTune bridge. It simply stays in tune. Before I had a guitar with EverTune, during recording I would have to tune my guitar before pretty much every take to make sure it's in tune and strum lightly on rhythm parts to make sure the chords don't go sharp or I knock it out of tune quicker. EverTune fixes both of these problems and has honestly spoiled me. I generally check the tuning once before recording and it stays in tune for the entire session. Also you can set it up so no matter how hard you strum the guitar the chords will never go sharp when you strike the strings. As a result everything is always in tune, the rhythm guitar parts have more energy, and my creativity is at an all time high because I spend less time getting distracted with tuning and more time recording. I haven't brought this guitar on the road yet, but I'm confident the EverTune bridge will make things a breeze. I only have good things to say about this guitar.”

Advantages:

• Sounds great
• Looks great
• Plays great
• Never goes out of tune

Disadvantages:

• There really aren't any disadvantages. The only thing I can think of is changing tunings with an EverTune bridge requires a key instead of simply turning the tuning pegs, but that's a small price to pay for all of the advantages that come with having an EverTune bridge.

We're glad to know the Halo is being put to good use!
