News and Events Elvis in Las Vegas the great 60's 70's In the late 60's and 70's one our best friends and great artist, in fact the drummer who created" came up with" what was later known as country rock was a gentleman named Teddy Horton. I can't off the top of my head remember the club which was on the boulder highway about where the Showboat hotel and casino is where Teddy and his band played for so many years. It was Teddy who first introduced me to Elvis on one of his many engagements in Las Vegas. Although Teddy was quite a good  friend of Elvis I really never knew him well only casually, On several of Elvis's engagements I was able to get my children back stage to watch his show it was a thrill to them. Good times, great friends, thanks Ted  and any of the old band

Comments by designer of the Electronic Muting system, Dave Bunker

As many people in the tap/touch world know I've dedicated my life to discovering how to make Touch Play easier and better. On my first patents of the early sixty's I used the manual "felt or other object a few inches up from the nut" to mute the strings.This worked, somewhat but always left lot's of unwanted noise and muddy notes. The Electronic mute eliminates all unwanted sounds such as hums, finger noise, slidding sounds. In coming weeks I will add much more to this content regarding the benefits that My Bunker Touch Guitar buyers and post some of there dynamic new music and sounds not only on my site but on Tappistry.org

Thanks and stay tuned, Dave Bunker

TOUCH NEWS We have succesfully sold all of our first run of Touch Guitars and have now added midi to the list of options you can get on the Touch Guitar. And for you sceptics at EMP who scoffed at the Touch Guitar idea "surprise" everyone is doing good on them and finding them a very broad and exciting instrument. Keep it up everyone your great, and thanks from Dave I appreciate all of you. As everyone who knows me knows I greatly respect the work and effort that went into Paul Allens Experience music project, but have always found it troubling that they have continually been critical of  the advanced technology which I promote yet are supposedly founded on new ideas and technology. What I really would expect before an idea such as the Touch Guitar is rejected is to at leaste see it, hear it and then make a decision which I would respect.

Indonesian Ripoff of American guitar builders and sellers

I have had inquires from other guitar and bass companys such as mine to the extent of which they were ripped off by the Scam going on in Indonesia, (article in April Vintage Guitar Magazine). Many hundreds of Guitars were sold on credit cards and them later contested, never to see the guitar again and they take the money back out of your account and their weak country lets it all happen, along with our whimpy government.

If this has happened to you email me and I will forward it to my attorney. If enough of us complain we may be able to start a Class action suit to stop these low lifes. Thanks Dave/BG email
