”Honey, I’ve shrunk my guitar!” The GrassRoots LPS-Mini may look cute and cuddly, but it’s a real electric guitar. It’s built like a full-size LP-type guitar, but has a short scale of only 20.5 inches. The LPS-Mini sports a single (bridge) humbucker, and it also comes with a built-in guitar amp and speaker (inside the ”neck pickup”). Use a set of 011-gauge strings for a fairly normal feel in standard tuning, or use it with a lighter gauge if you want to tune a few steps up. **** Here’s a short version of Erroll Garner’s timeless classic ”Misty”. • All guitar parts were played on the GrassRoots (by ESP) LPS-Mini. • The guitar was plugged into a Bluetone Black Prince Reverb combo. • The guitar tracks were recorded with an inexpensive ribbon microphone and a Cranborne Audio Camden EC2 preamp.
Here’s a short cover version of Prince’s classic track ”Cream”. • All guitar tracks played on a GrassRoots (by ESP) TE-50R guitar. • Bass: GrassRoots (by ESP) PB-55R • Amp: Bluetone Black Prince Reverb • Effects: Morley M2 Wah, EXH Nano Small Stone • Mic: Shure MV7X • Preamp: Cranborne Audio Camden EC2
