new Leslie for guitar $1,500

new Leslie for guitar $1,500

2009-03-29 by ceccles_ca

The Leslie / Hammond / Suzuki people say the G37 is specially tuned for guitar and "not recommended" for organ.  That sounds like marketing bullshit to me.  They just don't want it to compete with the Leslie 3300 ($2,500).  I'd like to hear this thing with keyboards!  Nice size...only 100 lbs.

Gas pedal rotor control is an option.

That's about the same price as a Motion Sound Pro-145, but 35 pounds heavier.

That awful audio demo plays when you go to the Hammond Suzuki USA home page.  http://www.hammondorganco.com/

There is a youtube clip by Jim Peterix (dickhead!) that is fucking awful too:

Great marketing job Suzuki!
