Story
Building on the success of our first-ever Microtonal Guitar, the Hi-Flier Phase 4 MT, we’re excited to bring this unique concept to even more iconic models. Naturally, the next in line is the legendary Flying Banana!
The SG2C Flying Banana MT cranks up the fantastically quirky nature of the standard guitar by adding microtonal frets across its standard 24 3/4" scale length. Reach beyond the limitations of standard Western tuning and explore a broader, more expressive range of pitches that conventional instruments can't access.
If you have any doubts that microtonal guitars rock, then check this live YouTube performance by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, playing their song 'Sleep Drifter' - all of their three guitarists are playing microtonal guitars.
