Members ajcoholic Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 Just finished this tonight... its justpast 10pm here, and I just finished wiring, intonating and set up. Need to have a quick shower and then I can plug her in and see how it sounds. The pickups are a set of the ltd edition Bryan made with the clear Gibson T top bobbins. I have each coil tapped for cut (on tones) and also an N-tune on the bridge volume. For those who dont remember the thread I had a while back on this project, its all Korina, with a maple cap. RW board and headstock overlay. Red satin finish in lacquer. Pearl dots on board and edge. 25" scale, 22 medium jumbo frets. Basically a PRS singlecut clone... Later dudes!

Members Elias Graves Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 That thing is smoking. Not taking anything away from Bryan's work, but I love the bridge on that thing. I want an LP Jr just so I can put a Baby Grand on it. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajcoholic Posted January 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 That thing is smoking. Not taking anything away from Bryan's work, but I love the bridge on that thing. I want an LP Jr just so I can put a Baby Grand on it. EG I actually wanted to try a Pigtail aluminum wraparound... but they are still back ordered. My 2nd choice was the baby grand. But it seems to be a nice bridge, although I prefer the look of a wraparound. The pickups are not "hot"... which is what I like I will have to play it through a few more of my amps, and for a longer time to get comfortable, but so far it feels great and sounds really nice. That N-tune unit is pretty slick as well...just pull up the volume and tune, press it back down and your back in business. I bought 2 to try out in a few guitars, now that Stewart Macdonald carries them. AJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Prages Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 So the N-Tune thing... Is it a push pull pot that when pulled becomes a built in tuner? That's kind of neat, but if you've got multiple guitars, I'd have to think it's cheaper just to get a tuner pedal so you can use it with all your guitars.

That's kind of neat, but if you've got multiple guitars, I'd have to think it's cheaper just to get a tuner pedal so you can use it with all your guitars. But I just wanted to try it out They are not a whole lot cheaper than a decent pedal tuner. But it is a neat gadget that appears to work really well. I dont think I will be putting one in every guitar, but I think some of my more played ones might get a refit. Thanks again guys... and thanks to Bryan. These pickups are really great - been playing the guitar this evening a lot through some different amps... Awesome tone! AJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
