Then something is wrong with the measurements. The differences between Rosewood back and sides vs Mahogany in acoustic guitars are clear and consistent. If we can't even agree on that then we just can't proceed to electrics. We just disagree.

SRV didn’t hang it low, maybe medium. I think he raised it over the years. Jimi hung it medium or medium high and so did EVH. Neither ever looked like a dork to me. Hanging it too low looks dorky to me. It has a ‘not-comfortable-in-my-own-skin’ vibe. Jimi and EVH appeared to hang it for playing...

The thing about all the scientific evidence is that it doesn’t agree with my ears/experience. I’m an engineer so I tend to trust the science more than some but my ears just keep pummeling my brain with a different answer. Maybe it’s from playing acoustic guitars that are otherwise built...

You’re a fucking Robin Trower/Frank Marino clone with half the speed and not nearly as good or successful. Show me the Madison Square Garden CarlF performances. :whistle:

I was hoping for a magical device to allow full float and flutter but no pitch drop when bending strings. So unison bends are just like a stoptail. And still feel great. Is that so much to ask?

Did you put the Solens in there? Those things are not cheap!

Never understood that especially when you can get a good 70s cab with Green/Cream/Black backs for less. I trust you on those ranges and agree and look at the bargain between a ‘74-‘80 cab vs some of the newer cabs. A ‘74 Creamback cab can sound killer. A ‘78 Blackback cab can sound way better...

Those are just the typical Piher carbon film in Marshalls even tho they are a similar color. IMO $2500 is “yesterday’s” inflated price. Things aren’t moving much and the digital alternatives are making big amps less popular.

Did you check his mic placement and did you use your own mic? Sometimes sound men just grab the next mic and it’s a fubar mic. Just trying to help avoid it. It does suck.

TBH I thought it sounded like a Landau song title. Am disappoint.

Fret a note lightly at the third fret. Now look at the gap between string and first fret. It should have a tiny, tiny gap. The third and sixth strings vibrate wider so they need a little more gap than say the first string.

@griff10672 do you make a Colorsound Overdriver clone? Does it require special parts?

Can you cop the early Chris Squire (Yes) tone with it? IIRC he just plugged into a Marshall for some/all of the very early stuff. Something like Roundabout but they all had incredible (to me) bass tone.

Beautiful guitar. The Gibson open-book headstock is just a clunky dreadnaught acoustic type of headstock. It’s not a great looking or optimally functional headstock. It’s just what people are accustomed to. To me the Heritage headstock is superior. I had a 12-pound H150 that was gorgeous and...
