Intro: While understanding this is somewhat an obscure RealTrack Request, it's uniqueness and beneficial opportunity to multiple parties along with the logistics for ease of recording now in place make it worth me bringing to the attention of PG Music staff.
Background: A one-of-a-kind, vintage guitar I once owned is now owned and on display at Songbirds Museum and Foundation in Chattanooga, TN. Songbirds is located on a university campus and proceeds from the museum and foundation go towards supporting the university's school of music.
The valuable, one-of-a-kind instruments of the museum are not static displays but are maintained and are used for concerts by famous artists at their campus to raise funds for the university school of music. Songbirds campus also has recording studios.
My former guitar is a custom built Gibson double neck guitar built around 1957 and purchased and owned by my family until the sale to Songbirds Foundation. The guitar itself has a strong provenance authenticating it's quality and vintage. Part of its provenance was being featured in a 2010 Antiques Roadshow episode as well as being played by BIAB users and many famous country starts from the 1960's.
RealTrack Request:
Create a series of RealTracks using this guitar.
This is the prototype for the Gibson WS-1275 Double neck guitar line as played by such luminaries as; Don Felder - Eagles Jimmy Page - Several famous bands Jeff Cook - Alabama
Each neck has two PAF Patent Pending humbucker Pickups that were appraised in 2009 to be worth $6,000 each.
There are multiple pickup variations for both 12 string and six string tones.
There are enough variations of tones in suitable genres for a unique RealTrack Pak release for the instrument.
Additional notes:
The connection to PG Music clientele, the guitar's current location that provides access to a recording studio and it's proximity to Nashville where PG Music has previously recorded RealTracks make this a convenient scenario.
Songbirds foundation allows these vintage guitars to be used in controlled environment and their close association with a school of music provides an attractive opportunity to both the school of music, the foundation and PG Music because this could lead to future vintage instrument RealTrack recordings that students of the school of music could create BIAB RealTracks from the vintage guitars the students have access to view but never to actually play.
Other clients may be attracted to accessing the actual sounds from a vintage guitar played and owned by their favorite musician the museum may now own.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
