I appreciate the feedback. How is the fretwork? And also how about neck profile? Did you request a certain profile and/or does he have a standard profile, if you customized your profile how close did he get to it? Big ups! ?
Both these builders are small boutique builders. I have watched several of Sully's live videos and he is definitely a serious dude that loves guitars and takes his craft seriously. I don't know much about D'VAvanzo but what I heard and read is he, like Sully, is. serious guitar builder that...
Cheers everyone. I'm not much of a techie when it comes to the engineering of the guitar, I got the basics down. Nonetheless, I have been considering swapping out my 2016 Charvel So Cal Floyd Special with a Non-Fine Tuner Floyd, then remove the locking nut. I have a number of guitars with a...
I appreciate all the feedback. Not a lot of live for the FU Tone Floyd, not sure anyone even talked about it. But there is some love for Gotoh and Sophia. Will look into Sophia. Already knew about Gotoh. Thank you crowd! Cheers!
Making some updates to my 2005 Jackson King V. Thoughts on better whammy. GFR is the gold standard, Never had a FUT but I have heard a lot of good things and frankly curious on trying something new. From what I have researched it is a straight replacement with no real issues. Looking for the...
All good feedback, thanks for opining… Ive owned the Origin 20 and I completely agree with GG08, it’s a hard pass for what I am looking for. I have a couple amps that are my go to but wouldn’t mind having a 4th to try out some other tones. I’ll look into that Marshall Lead 12, sounds interesting… ?
So is the Marshall SV20H 20/5 watt really as great as some are saying? Everything I am reading is that Marshall cracked the code to get the Plexi in a smaller manageable package. Really looking to hear from people who own one of these amps. Cheers!
The NoHom has always interested me, Dave’s take on a LP in a strat body? Mah over maple. The neck is spec’s like a LP, right? How comfortable is the guitar?
Super appreciative of the feedback…. Maybe I just stick with the FU tone, classic FR or Gotoh model…. Wanted something that could provide me the stability but easier to maintain while staying in tune… if it can’t be relied to stay in tune then it’s not for me. Cheers!
Hey folks, looking at building a guitar and I have been checking out the Floyd Rose Rail Tail. Want to be able to dive bomb but was looking at an easier maintenance guitar that can stay in tune. Traditional Floyds can be a real drag from setting up strings to making sure it is balanced right and...
I did and he said Grover is semi-retired and he wouldn’t be able to complete and further custom requested work in a Friedman guitar when it comes to choosing wood body options. I was looking to see what that really meant. Seems to me they decide to go different ways and ended their partnership.
Thanks for the reply, good content. Seems like the relationship between those two came to an end and they went their separate ways. Interesting. I don’t own a Friedman but they do seem interesting.
Curious on peoples thoughts. I’ve heard that Grover Jackson is retiring from the guitar building process and no longer working much with Friedman guitars. Thoughts on how this affects the guitar building process since according to the Friedman site, Grover participated in choosing of the woods...
Wow just appreciate the great feedback. Looks like my mind is made up, when you get reviews and support like for a brand you feel strong going into it. Cheers!
Same here… was looking at some other custom builders that may do an overall better job like Luxxtone but it comes with a hefty price tag.. Chubtone is close and much better value ?
for sure… I was seriously looking at Luxxtone but had a real hard time with the price tag, and for that matter...
Hey everyone, I’ve been on the hunt for a new guitar and have spent quite a bit of time on the Chubtone site. I’ve Googled and looked through the internet. Seems like a solid instrument from all the feedback I’ve read. But wanted to throw it out to everyone here to provide any of your...
Looking for thoughts on this guitar. Want to add a mahogany with a trem system to my collection and want to do it for under $1500. like classic C necks, don’t like wizard necks. This signature has almost everything I am looking for: mahogany body, 24 fret, reverse head stop, simple Trem system...
