Smarter Design: Use a Modular Architecture

By employing a carefully considered modular design in the first place, it means that many options can be combined in new and different ways. That’s just common sense. And this means you get more choices. Does this smarter design cost more? No, it costs less. You avoid the time and waste of re-designing everything every time you want a new model or new hardware.

Smarter Design: Using the Best that’s Already Out There

For over 60 years, the best brains in electric-guitar design have been creating ever-better components. Why on Earth would an instrument designer want to ignore this universe of superb, gig-tested parts? What possible advantage would there be in re-designing something that already works superbly? Sure, if you *really* have a better idea. But look around you. Most of the time, trying to re-design everything better than the thousands of brilliant developers who came before you just produces an inferior and more costly gadget.

Smarter Design: Tradition Has LOTS to Teach Us

Behind the guitars and basses of today, we have hundreds of years of guitar building, millions of man-hours a-playing, and much of what we learned over these years can be taken as gospel truth. For example … A tilt-back head sustains longer

• Through-body string anchoring sounds better
• A rigid body reduces flex, improves tone
• All these permit greater string tension
• And greater string tension just sounds better

Sure, you can use a lower tension, and that gives good sustain, but at the cost of sounding somewhat thin and chimy on melody strings. Greater string tension just sounds … better.

Smarter Design: Dimensions

Why not design the instrument with Standard Dimensions? Standard dimensions mean you can use standard, world-class parts. For example, if you design so the string spacing matches the 5,000 models of available high-quality pickups, then you can use any of these pickups.

And can you see that if you *don’t* use standard dimensions, you can just kiss all those wonderful pickups … good-bye? Same with tuning machines. Same with the bridge parts. Same with bridge saddles. Same with tone/volume knobs. Same with the buttons or straplocks on the guitar.

Standard parts mean better performance. Period. Doing it any other way is just … stupid.

And do these standard parts cost us more? Hell, no. Standard parts cost less.

Smarter Buying Practices

Here’s a fact: Many of the very best world-class parts are now manufactured overseas. That’s just how it is. To get these great parts, you do have to buy in the thousands, but it gives lower cost and better quality. And so … we buy world wide. It’s better quality … and lower prices for you.

Smarter Manufacture

Computer controlled machinery All the best guitar-makers use it. Why? Because it produces repeatable, exact results, time after time. Only precise positioning can produce the perfect playing action. Computer cutting for precision; hand-finishing for beauty. That’s what works best.

Smarter Manufacture: Finish

Oil finishes “wear out” or dry out. They just don’t last. And the popular Nitro-Cellulose Lacquer is beautiful but it’s toxic, poisonous. Environmentally-friendly ‘water-based’ finishes are safer for workers, produce outstanding results, and cost no more. It’s silly not to use the best and safest finish the world has to offer. You protect your instrument; you protect the world. But …Who Gets the Savings?

All the savings in the world won’t help the musician … … if the manufacturer just pockets the savings … and charges the moon! However … Mobius Megatar Intentionally Under-Prices the Instruments. What??? Now why would do we do that?

Our Modest Plan of World Conquest

Here’s the scoop: We intend to become the most popular touch-style manufacturer on the planet. (We’re already the fastest-growing.) We think the best way to become the worlds most popular touch-style maker is to accellerate the number of Megatars in play.

And the best way to do that is to help musicians to get the instruments. And what’s the best way to help musicians get the instruments? Well, one darn good way is … keep them affordable! If You’re a Musician …

Now here’s what’s true … If you’re a musician, you will find a way to make music. Good Economy? You will find a way. Bad Economy? You will find a way. It’s just who you are.

So we don’t need to do a lot of selling and flapdoodle. All we really need to do is to gently draw your attention away from the wild events of life, to focus inside, to remember … to remember who you really are.

You’re a musician. That’s the whole story in three words. And your next step is just to be who you are, and get your hands on a Megatar, and set the music free. Simple, really.

Here’s What Musicians Say …

“Happy days with my MaxTapper. It is more than I expected! Deep clear tone, lovely looking, easy to play fingerboard stabilized by MegStrap, and the body is not too heavy so I play this instrument many hours every day. Thank you for making such wonderful tapping instrument.” — Satoshi Yuge, musician, Nagoya, Japan

“The tone is full and earthy over the whole fretboard, and perfectly in tune no matter where you play. All you have to do is lightly touch a string, and it responds with a clear, bell-like tone. I’m totally satisfied with the instrument and the people of Mobius Megatar. Thank you!” — John Bailey, guitarist, Hastings, New Zealand

“The Megatar offers musical possibilities that go beyond the regular realms of composition. In the past I had to imagine the bass while playing guitar, but now I can do both simultaneously: and things are happening that didn’t happen before. It’s new land, an adventure into undiscovered territory. The Megatar is a well of new ideas.” — Raed Khashoukgi, Germany

Don’t Forget Our Special Guarantee!

100% Love it or “Shove It” Guarantee! Our guarantee is simple. Either you will be absolutely delighted with your new Megatar or I will demand that you get a full refund of the Instrument Purchase Price. You have a full seven days to decide.

Here’s why you already know this is a great offer .. You’ve probably had the experience of going down to Guitar Center and you try some guitar off the wall. And generally you know right away if you like that guitar. But if you’re not sure, what do you do? You go back the next day and check it again. And usually you don’t have to go back on yet another day, because you know right away!

Same deal here. Seven days is *plenty* of time to begin to see how this instrument and this new way of playing can take your same practice time and take you twice as far down the road in record time.

But Is There A Catch?

No, no catch. But let me be blunt. There are TWO THINGS you MUST do if you want to experience the transformation and delight that so many have found. Let me spell this out for you …

NUMBER ONE — You have to practice. The instrument absolutely WILL NOT PLAY ITSELF. It needs you. Now you don’t have to practice long. You don’t have to practice hard. It can be fun, no suffering required. If you want the best results, you MUST BE WILLING to give it modest but regular practice. Period. Thinking otherwise is just silly. You’re not silly, are you?

NUMBER TWO — We can only offer this cool-beans Guarantee on STANDARD INSTRUMENTS. We cannot build a custom instrument for you, then your cat sneezes and you return it, and we wait for somebody else to manifest in the universe, that wants to play two-handed tapping, and wants exactly the same model, and wants exactly the same custom options. I don’t care if we *are* the fastest growing tapping instrument maker. Our margins are too small to allow us to build custom instruments and store them for months or years, awaiting the perfect buyer. So if you want the STANDARD GUARANTEE to cover your butt, then order a STANDARD INSTRUMENT, to cover ours.

Will you practice? Will you get a standard instrument?

You will? Terrific! Then let me repeat my 100%

Love it or “Shove It” Guarantee! … If you get one of our standard models, then either you will be absolutely delighted with your new Megatar or I will demand that you get a full refund of the Instrument Purchase Price. You have a full seven days to decide.

How to Avoid the Pain of Missing Out …

Let me spell this out for you. I’ll give you an example. Let’s say that you had been convicted and sentenced to be shot by a firing squad, in ten years. Now you have ten years left. That’s a good analogy for your life, don’t you think?

We don’t know if it’s ten years or sixty years remaining, but for darn sure it’s going to end some day, so for this example we’ll use ten years.

And on that day, do you suppose you will say to yourself, “Man I sure am satisfied with my life because I was cautious and didn’t get that instrument?” Or will you regret that you didn’t play more music?

Will you regret that you didn’t express who you really are? I think you know the answer.

Is Your Life Worth Sixty-Six Cents?

For just a moment, let’s set aside the question of price.

Let’s just consider cost. (Price and cost are different.)

For example, let’s say you see your way clear to get the Megatar MaxTapper Banshee model with active-circuit Bartolini pickups. That’s a VERY powerful touchstyle instrument.

And you’re going to play it for ten years. What did it cost? It cost about 66 cents a day. (And if they don’t shoot you in ten years, then it cost even less than that.) Hey, you pay more than that for a cappucino, right?

So here’s the question … Would it make any sense at all … to let sixty-six cents stand in the way of releasing the music that’s in your heart?

No? I wouldn’t think so either.
