According to AFTER FOREVER guitarist Sander Gommans guitar manufacturer Patrick Hufschmid, who builds his guitars, has created a Sander Gommans signature edition axe in the digital world of Second Life. Gommans has issued the following update:

"Hi everybody,

Well, normally I try to write blogs about something I actually have some kind of knowledge of (at least, I THINK I do;-), but I must admit Second Life isn't part of that. When Patrick Hufschmid showed this to me some time ago I was amazed about this giant digital world, and it seems to have expanded even more!

Patrick decided to give After Forever some Second Life promotion, and it's awesome to see that it actually works out, I think he's one of the first guitar builders to do it in this unique way. He's created an After Forever guitar that you can actually buy and use for your second life character.

Well, if you want more info I'd advise you to go to Patrick's MySpace in my photosection on the seconds page are some pics. It's based on an Explorer model, I already reviewed this awesome guitar on a previous blog, but check out the pics and see for yourself that this one really looks (and plays) amazing!

Patrick, thanks for your support!"

Hufschmid, meanwhile, has issued the following overview:

"As you all know, I have a hobby, I have a guitar shop in Second Life and I build virtual guitars. I recently asked permission to Sander to build an official 'AfterForever Second Life Guitar' and he kindly accepted my offer. So, if you wish you can come to my shop in SecondLife (www.secondlife.com) and come get the guitar!

This guitar took me over 6 hours to build, there is 161 items assembled in order to create the guitar, so it's a lots of work. Also the guitar is scripted, this means that when you click on it while wearing it, a menu will appear and will leave you choose 33 killer guitar riffs to play!

The guitar coasts 490 Linden.

You can find my shop very simply by searching for Hufschmid Guitars in the secondlife search enging. You will then find one of my classifieds adds which will allow you to teleport directly inside my shop.

Sander is not only a fine composer but an incredible guitar player, trust me!!!!!"
