Congrats mate! I've been lucky enough to have a tinkle on Guthrie's, and if yours is anything like his then it's a phenomenal instrument.

Assuming you're talking of the bridge pickups, the Holy Diver is darker, with much more in the way of low mids. It's clear across the range, but has a looser low end than the Cold Sweat. The CS is very balanced, EQ-wise, and is much brighter and tighter. The Cold Sweat is the clearest pickup...

Thanks man! Believe it or not, my other BM has even lower action:

Yep, it's swamp ash and is completely raw, no finish. Sounds utterly ridiculous! :thumbsup:

Hahah, yeah, it's a lovely example. You can see the figure popping out more in this pro shot:

Thanks guys! :)

I've had this guitar a while already, but never made an NGD thread for it: It's a Vigier Excalibur Ultra Blues. It has a Bare Knuckle Holy Diver in the bridge, and a coil split switch. The natural light is poor today so the figuring isn't popping out as it does in person. Also had some...

Wicked, thanks man! :)

+1 to the Nailbomb. It really is very open and dynamic considering its output.

Hey guys, This is a new song by my band Red Seas Fire, called The Recovery. I video'd myself tracking the lead parts during the laid-back solo section, but the sound quality was really bad, so I overlaid the final recording. The video does show the actual takes used though, Apologies for the...

Cheers guys, big complements!

A little update: Someone on the Fractal forum sent Andy an email linking the clip to ask his opinion, and got this response: Pretty cool huh?

Cheers guys!

Hi, I figured I'd have a go recreating one of my favourite guitar tones, that of Andy Timmons' album Resolution, using my Axe-FX. I learned the opening riffs of the first song on the album, Deliver Us back when it first came out, so I quickly relearned and recorded them (pretty sloppy and ever...

Awesome cheers dude! Pretty sure it's 16" all the way.

Thanks dude, the drums are Superior 2.0. :) Cheers, yeah it's recorded direct from the Axe-FX.

Hi guys, I'm recording a friend's band (mostly commercial American rock in a similar vein to Alter Bridge) over the next few weeks, so I've done a few preliminary mixtests. I thought I'd share this one since it shows off how clear big chords are, even with loads of gain. I recorded this with my...

Hah, that's awesome and humbling to hear. I hope you realise how lucky you are to have regular lessons with him!

Blues Saraceno, Yngwie Malmsteen, Andy Timmons, Allan Holdsworth, Dimebag Darrel Greg Howe, Jeff Loomis Michael Ammott, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Mattias Eklundh and also the criminally unheard of Martin Goulding: q1zUeiNQiPM

Yeah, that's pretty much the standard going rate over here. It'll look alot cheaper to you now that the exchange rate has gone the way it has.
