Bizman62 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 A win well earned! The quality of the details showing the beauty of the wood choices raised her above a standard build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willliam_q Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks all, I can’t believe I won, I was convinced the green guitar would get it cause it was lovely too. I’m really chuffed with this guitar, haven’t put it down since. I did a 6 hour marathon practice session yesterday and now my hands hurt!! I know I should stop whingeing like a baby. I did an A/B against the EVH 5150 replica and there was no comparison. The SD Custom Custom pickup in the 5150 sounds so weak in comparison to the EMG. Must be the choice of woods but the resonance feels much better, When it’s sitting on my knee I can feel the strings vibrating. Very cool. Whereas the 5150 feels dead...could be the multiple layers of paint and lacquer on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tuning goes flat I bet you'll notice a difference in vibrations! Note that if the tuning changes with that trick you'll have to intonate the guitar to match the new shorter scale length.
