    Not sure how I feel about those neon ones! On one hand, wow! what took so long to get something like that on the market!! On the other hand, 80's pop and neon slipped away into obscurity fast and for a reason!!!! If I start covering flock of seagulls and devo I'll be all over them!

    I want some! Those orange ones really look like you're playing with molten metal strings!

    So, who's going to bite the bullet and buy some for a thefret review?


    Edit after reading article...

    Open letter to all marketeers.

    PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP USING THE PHRASE 'High Definition' or 'HD' or 'Hi Def' to describe everything!

    Fluro colours are "High Visibility" not "High Definition"

    HD is just this year's buzz phrase.

    Remember when "digital" = better in audio terms?

    I was studying electronic engineering when CD players first hit the mainstream market, so yeah

    "Look at all the steps in that DAC waveform, how the hell will people put up with that?"

    and now we have MP3's..............

    BTW I also have the same issue with things claiming to be "Turbocharged".
