Members dcooper830 Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I enjoyed your demo. Great sounds! I like the sound of both guitars a lot. The black one has a nice clarity to it and the pink one sounds really warm and big. I also have a black one and a pink one. They're both stock. They both play really well. Kind of a slim profile neck with a flat-ish radius. The fret ends are sharp and sticking out a little but thats an easy fix. I take 'em to gigs and they're always a big hit!

Members honeyiscool Posted March 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah. The thing is, it's definitely true that the stock humbucker is a weak point, objectively speaking. With distortion, it really has a lot of assyness around the edges. But you know what, I kind of like it. It seems to fit the guitar very well. I love the TB-5 on this guitar, though. I have no clue what I was thinking when I bought that pickup, it's not what I would have bought for myself if I were shopping now. For a while I hated it, since I dislike high-output pickups (and for me, anything above a Tele bridge is high-output). One day, though, I decided to put it in parallel instead of series and I ended up loving the pickup a great deal. It definitely sounds a lot more suitable for my choppy chord playing now. I haven't properly intonated the pink one because it came with 9s and I wanted to test them out before deciding whether I want to swap them to 10s like I have on most of my guitars, that's also part of why it sounds off. The black one is properly intonated and the strings are 10s so obviously it starts from there. The Invader will probably make it scream. You might want a tone control, though. I have a stacked pot in there so I just needed to enlarge the hole slightly with a reamer. Was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fret ends are sharp and sticking out a little but thats an easy fix. Thanks. Yeah, I've had three of these guitars now, and the first one, well, I really didn't know what to look for. The neck sucked on that one, in retrospect, and I often put other necks on it. A Jazzmaster neck worked pretty well, I remember, but I didn't like the rosewood so much. These two Kittycasters I currently have, though, the neck has clearly been dressed by a tech before me, so the necks are pristine and very, very straight. The profile is perfect for my little hands. Although it's a bit thicker than some of my guitar necks (Mustang and Jaguar have extremely thin necks), somehow this neck feels easier to wrap my hands around to get that thumb action going. You know what I mean? That guitar looks small on me but it really looks like a toy on you. Hah. The beauty of these guitars is that you can't lose money on these. I bought my first one used for about $120, I was able to sell it for about $180, and it's not even in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members honeyiscool Posted March 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 That gig bag! I wish I had it! I'm sure it sucks like most entry-level Fender gig bags, though. Their deluxe ones are fine but some Fender gig bags are terrible. I've got one where there's actually no padding on the headstock region. I suppose that's the beauty of supply and demand. Now that it's been a few years, many people kind of want one, and there's dwindling supply, and many of the surviving members are in bad shape or hacked up (like mine was, oops). AND EVEN THEN... I still sold it at a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised what they're going for on Ebay now. oh wow, i got mine "cheap" for $320 AUD (guitars in Australia are.. or were anyway, pretty much double the USD) so thats like selling mine for $700 now! maybe i shouldnt change the HB...

Members honeyiscool Posted March 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I think it's fine as long as you can restore it to its original condition easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlackCat Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 That was an effective demo. It was kind of appropriate that your cat hopped up and got in the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
