Hi, great sound! What pickup combination you used?

[CyValkarion]

Woah, what's with the jacked up fretboard? I know those are true temper frets, but are those multiple fingerboard woods? or is it just half stained?

[DamageIncM]

@CyValkarion

Forget that. :P

What's with the 4 pickups? XD

[CyValkarion]

@DamageIncM That's no big deal. Look at Steve Morse's guitar. The EBMM Mr. Horsepower. The ugly as hell DiPinto galaxie 4.

[DamageIncM]

@CyValkarion

It's not big deal? It's not very common to have 3, 4 or more humbuckers in a guitar.

I'm not saying this is the only one...

[CyValkarion]

@DamageIncM Ah, well, sorry about that. I know it isn't common. I was trying to say that it's pretty easy to find them. I've had a lot more trouble finding a fretboard like that outside of Conklin guitars.

[DamageIncM]

@CyValkarion

Ah yeah.

I always wondered why you'd want 3 or more pickups though.

I mean, I know they get you different sounds, but I'm not sure what it would sound like exactly.

I never had the chance to play with such a setup.

And 4... well, I mean, how much difference would there be between the middle 2 for example, so close together.

Unless you use completely different pickups there of course...

[CyValkarion]

@DamageIncM I would imagine for coil taps and different parallel sounds and such. Personally, I find H/S/H guitars to be a bit much. Too many pickups makes it really cumbersome to play. Maybe they did it for shits and giggles like the Mr. Horsepower. I dunno. Ask Steve Morse. He seems to need 4.

[DamageIncM]

@CyValkarion

Hm yeah.

All I can think of is, that with 3 HBs, the middle pickup would emphasize the sound of the "middle" setting of a 3-way-switch in a dual HB setup.

So that it's kind of an expansion on that setting and it's an actual pickup there instead of the bridge and neck pickups sort of "emulating" a middle-pickup or something.

But I could be completely wrong, that's just what I think of.

[CyValkarion]

@DamageIncM Solid reasoning there, sounds good to me.
