Members Skyforger Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 The Hello Kitty is more likely to be a crowd pleaser, so I'd go with that one initially. Though I assume that single bucker limits your sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only one guitar with a single volume pot, but I dig it. Still, couldn't hurt to add a tone at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members =JL= Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Looks like he's added a tone, judging by the concentric pot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members honeyiscool Posted March 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 Looks like he's added a tone, judging by the concentric pot? Yeah it actually has a three-way coil selector as well. It's plenty versatile, but at the end of the day, I still only get three bridge pickup sounds, and I'm primarily a neck pickup player in my free time.

I find myself leaving it on the bridge pup and using the tone control to, uh, change my tone. I'll prolly pull the neck pup on this one as soon as I get busy and make a new p/g.

I think a rolled bridge pickup sounds more "dull" than "warm," as much as I hate these adjectives. I like how with the neck pickup, I can disappear into the mix while still maintaining excellent clarity. I find that harder to do with bridge.

Members guitarman3001 Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 I don't know that I could pull it off but the top one would definitely be more of an attention getter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you need a tone control with a better taper, in that case. You can also get some cool tones just by dropping the volume control on your guitar; again, it helps if you have good components. As far as which looks better onstage, the Hello Kitty guitar makes more of a visual statement, and expresses a self-confidence that the ladies (or the dudes, if you swing that way) like. The Jaguar screams "90's grunge" to me, so maybe I'm biased. Nothing against grunge, but I saw a lot of shouldn't-be Kurt Cobains wielding those guitars back in the day.

Plus, the taper doesn't affect the actual tone, it only affects my ability to find it. (Also it's a Mustang. And it's the Kurt Cobain Mustang so you still have a point there.)

Members GAS Man Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 "that" although I personally appreciate the novelty of an HK, but "cool" better fits the Indie vibe of a Moostang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
