Robbinst Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Very cool! Green is my favorite color so I really like the burst you chose. How does it sound? -Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretman_2 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 It sounds very, very good. The GFS pups are strong, but still have some bite to them. They are hands down my favorite pickup. Thanks, Very cool! Green is my favorite color so I really like the burst you chose. How does it sound? -Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretman_2 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Here's a link to a short original tune done with the guitar... Don't remember which pup I used...probably the bridge pup. Recorded with a Boss BR-600. http://bcharbour.home.comcast.net/~bcharbour/Music/tBo.mp3 Awesome, glad your happy with it.
