Sounds sweet and mellow. I can hear the humbucks. Kinda sounds Gibson'ish but without some of the carved top edge. May just be the rolled back treble. I am guessing by a few of the notes you hit that the strings are lights like 10s and not 11s or 12s. This one seems to sound better than the ones you posted before. I am guessing was the proto.

Congrats on your new baby!

:cool:

Sounds good! I agree with LB, it had that "Les Paul using the neck position humbucker" sound.
Crank up the distortion and you can change your name to "Slash"...LOL

I combined the full bridge humbucker with the single neck coil of the neck humbucker. I also used a different program to record and convert the wav file to mp3 which is probably why it sounds better than the previous one... Hard to believe the body uses less than $10 worth of wood! I also think the maple neck makes a big difference. I have felt that the neck material has the biggest influence on tone and sustain because of the moment arm length. Choose your neck material wisely, grasshoppers! :D Boggs

Very nice sounding axe. Sure does have that fat Gibson neck pickup sound with the tone pot rolled back. I would imagine that the combination of single and double coil pickups make it quite versatile. Keep 'em coming.

How will you feel if the prototype ends up sounding better than the final guitar?

 

 

Thanks, guys! I can't say that the prototype will sound better or worse. Just different. I think they will both complement each other. The cool thing is, the electronics and layouts as well as chambered body designs are very similar so the main differences will be the body and neck woods. This should answer a lot of questions for a lot of folks. Boggs
