Henry Kaiser | Spore

VIDEO: Henry Kaiser shares gorgeous ambient improv playing on SPORE 6-string guitar. There are so many things I love about this recording. Notice the massive, immersive, soundscape Henry paints with such economy of motion. His fingerstyle and subtle trem. Harmonics. Skull shirt. Our conversations behind the scenes indicates a surprising signal chain…the only reveal here is there is no looping: only delays. Grateful thank you to Henry for recording this video, and also for acquiring SPORE. When I built the guitar I knew it needed to be in the hands of someone special.

“I took the liberty of keeping it psychedelic behind your end title after I finished playing
it is SPORE, after all    
and the guitar told me to make it like that” (HK)

“Dude I used the ’67 guitar for a Hendrix show. Fucking thing absolutely decimated. 14 and a half minutes that song was. Wailing on the trem. By the end it was still in tune. Crazy!” (Joe Cirotti)

Reworked Sunburst Strat

Nickel plated aircraft aluminum and stainless steel. The quartersawn factory maple neck has been reshaped to Advantage™ neck profile. Pickups are Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot Strat™ for that familiar authentic tone.

“I bought this lovely nitro sunburst Fender Strat™ then gave it a complete reworking. The goal was to take an already fine USA built instrument and elevate it to a premium studio/stage guitar for the player who is seeking traditional Fender vibe but wants my latest technology.” (Rick Toone)
