		<description><![CDATA[After a weekend of doing some recording with our Green Guitar Project prototype guitars, I got to sit down with another new one last night.  This latest guitar features some more unique materials in its construction and a new neck profile.  It&#8217;s a real killer.  I guess this will mean that there are some new [...]]]></description>
