God City Instruments At Chicago Music Exchange | CME Gear Demos

Designed by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, GCI guitars and basses combine Ballou’s favorite features! With an aim to provide unique, great-sounding tools for today’s working musicians-like guitarist Donna Diane, who plays a GCI Craftsman with Chicago-based noise-rock duo Djunah-GCI instruments boast high-quality components, plus a no-frills approach to craftsmanship, as well factory-standard drop-tuned setups on some models. So, when Kurt came in to give us a rundown of all the models GCI has to offer, Donna stopped by CME to chat! Listen here to get a load of the power and punch these GCI riff machines dole out!

I’ve been living for the moment we would hear Converge on CME

[@drownthepoor]

I knew a kid who was obsessed with CKY, and he had Deron Miller's exact Parker Fly and his exact amp setups.
Back then Parkers were super expensive just because they were made from carbon-fiber, and it was like modern space-age construction.
The GCI Modernist body is one of the best guitar cuts I've seen in a while.
I also love the Deconstructivist cuts.
When a guitar has only one pickup and two knobs I always feel like it's not for me.

[@introxgrunt]

GCI being at CME is the best news I've heard all week

[@Ian44_92]

That green guitar with the stacked p90 in it through the Diezel sounds just filthy. Love it 🤘

[@officialnaplava]

[@CW0123]

I wonder which Korean city is “God City”

[@chrishisj]

Idk what the bass ones were

[@wolfsnake6.6.6.]

Just the bass one may be Trigger

[@Elfcow_ishere_]

wow, that didn't sound bad at all

[@maxpeck4154]

5:57 I believe it's pronounced "wenj"

[@tynanwaring3292]

No. Usually pronounced WHEN-gii or WHEN-ghay.

[@maxpeck4154]

@@tynanwaring3292 Apparently it appears to be region specific. In America it's "wenj", "wen-gay" in Britain. When I originally looked it up I only found the American pronunciation. It's both depending on where you are.

[@tynanwaring3292]

@@maxpeck4154 I mean Kurt is American and says it the only way I have heard it said and how Wikipedia and the tone wood website say it’s pronounced but if you say so.

[@maxpeck4154]

@@tynanwaring3292 I do say so, thanks. I've heard it both ways, and up until my first comment had only heard the American pronunciation of it, looked it up, and apparently neither are incorrect, you can use both. It's not uncommon for two words to be pronounced differently.

[@duhlike]

He was also influenced by First Act. He straight up stole the Craftsman design from their Delia model. He has a few of their custom shop guitars they built for him back when they had a shop in Boston. Don't think they copyrighted the design but they at least deserve some recognition.

[@5rjb]

Wtf is a first act custom shop they're like a $50 Walmart brand guitar haha

[@vvillmorris]

@@5rjbthey used to have a USA custom shop, and made guitars and basses for several bands like Brian Cook from Russian Circles, Nate Newton from Converge and a bunch of other artists
