Hey everybody,

We're completely blown away by the overwhelming support we've received for this project and it would not be possible without all of you. We hit our goal in about 11 hours and doubled it in just a few days. We've just returned home after spending the entire week in New York City presenting at TechCrunch Disrupt, where after a close call in the finals, we took 2nd place. Regardless of the outcome, we had a blast being there and even sold a few gTars to the judges.

To everybody who's been reaching out - thank you! We're reading all of your e-mails, messages, comments, and other communications, it's just taking us a little while to respond, so thank you in advance for your patience. Many of you have asked whether we're building a left-handed gTar or designing the gTar to account for potential changes in the next version of the iPhone. We've been hard at work with our team in China to explore these issues and others - we will answer them on this forum as soon as we are able.

Thanks again for all your support! We're exploring different possibilities for a potential second color option and will be posting t-shirt designs soon - so if you're interested in staying up to date on the conversation, check us out on Facebook and Twitter as well - we want your feedback!

      Hey Stanny,

      Sorry for the late response. The early bird tier allowed a few people to get a heavily discounted gTar for helping boost our sales early on so that we could reach our goal. We simply did not anticipate this much support. Hope this answers your question, let me know if you have any others and don't hesitate to reach out!

      Best,
      Idan

      Hey I'd like to ask a dumb question 'what's the difference between early bird- one white gTar' and One white gTar?
      Cheers

      Stanny
