Well I didn't understand a word of that, but I dig the sound that thing gets - lovely!

I'm sorry, Tavy! The video you might have seen is the one i introduce the guitar...in portuguese! Rsrsrs...the other videos featured there are all about playing, no foreign languages! Rsrsrs.
Thanks for commenting!
Fantastic look and sound. Congratulations!

5 string with a whammy bar. Wowza. I know there are a lot of people here that are going to be asking where they can get one.

Nice looking and sounding instrument, and excellent playing. :mandosmiley:
As Ben mentioned, I suspect others will be interested in this model thanks to your vids. Does Fabio have a web site that you can link here? (All I found was his youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/Batanj#p/u/10/FElVJ_5ZVdo).)

Thanks guys!
I will contact Fabio Batanj and, if possible, make him join the Cafe...this model is a prototype, more a custom model...i don'† know what would be the costs in dollars, this information is only with him.
His email is <fabiobatanj@hotmail.com> , i don't know about his english though...but it worth the try!
By the way, i put some english subtitles to the Valkyria introduction video...
All the best
Marcos Moletta
