Got to play it last night through the Bottle Rocket and I love the Fishman Fluence Modern pickups. The bridge pickup sounds absolutely brutal - I was playing Machine Head's Halo and the tone I was getting was perfect for that main riff. The neck pickup gave me the most liquidy lead sound - really easy to play legato. While I definitely wouldn't use these pickups in other guitars or for other styles, they are great for heavy Drop B. I'll try to record something this weekend.

Only issue is that the third pot (tone, I guess) doesn't do anything. Tried the full range of the pot in all three pickup settings and I hear no change. When I took the control cavity cover off to get the plastic off it, I noticed the third pot was a push/pull DPDT, but I forgot to try it when I put the cover back on. It must change the voicing on the pickups, but I need to check the wiring tonight...

Might possibly throw the tone out of the circuit until it’s pulled out. That’s how the Misha Mansoor Jackson sigs are wired.

Ah, thanks - I'll check the wiring tonight...

Verily, a most beauteous finish, upon a raging beast!

Like Tawny Kitaen in her prime, after innumerable strawberry daiquiris, giving chase to her baseball husband while wielding his own bat!


This post now concludeth!

The finish looks fantastic. Glad you're digging the guitar so far.

It sounds like the guitar sounds/plays as good as it looks. Love the color and fit and finish.

Congrats
