Does this mean you shouldn't play electric guitar in a storm? I suppose thats fairly obvious, but we don't get too many storms in the UK. I don't like have my electrical stuff on during a sky to ground onslaught. I've heard lightening strikes make that crackle sound my speakers before. Every once in a while you hear some lightening related horror story. Best to play it safe I guess.]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340108 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340105 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:03:27 +0000
It is very similar to my Epi! My Epi is slightly darker, the top can be viewed more clearly in your and it is a very beautiful top!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340105 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340097 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:27:11 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340097 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340014 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 06:18:21 +0000
I do hate the knobs though. Stupid etched paint color is same as the rest. No clue where I'm at on any knob without zeroing it out and approximate from there. I'm too doggone old to see low/no contrast things unless there's a ton of light on it. Maybe the missus will have something to bring it out.]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340014 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340009 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 05:38:04 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-340009 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/new-to-me-guitar/#post-339942 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:33:04 +0000

Sounds like an LP too. I didn't turn the volume up at all to get a taste for what the SD pickups sound like compared to stock ones, but will do soon. Even at really low volumes I can hear a bit crisper or deeper tone on the bridge puckup. Over all, the SD pickups sounded like an SG when they were in the SG and an LP now that they're in one now. Imagine that. :D
Very nice looking guitar, indeed? Do you normally play 11's? Why are you going so heavy? Maybe tune it down to C for the Metalcore sound? :lol: I tried some flatwounds in 11 and decided that it wasn't much harder to play, so I decided to try some standard 11's on a couple guitars. The Epi LP and SG got 'em. Still experimenting, but so far so good. Not as hard to play as I thought they would be, and the sound might be a little crisper. Someone with a better trained ear than my own could probably expound more.
11s are medium guage. many guitars come from the factory with 11s. Yeah, I always found that naming a bit funny. I doubt I'll ever make it to 'Heavy" strings. :)

Here's a pic of the actual beast. The honey burst is my least favorite of the 'bursts, but price dictated this one and I do not dislike it.
