this is the custom shop or the blackie?

[Fibson86]

None of them...that would be nice! :P

i dig your style mate, quick question though about halfway through a light tube overdrive seems to come on, i may have just missed it earlier but i was wondering is that from the twin or did your throw a pedal in front of it?

[Fibson86]

There is no overdrive, it sounds like beacause of the loudness, the cam can't handle....:P

@mikesta99 my Favorite guitar is a rosewood std usa strat, it seem's to have the most sparkle and chime out of all my guitars, well my plus is also up their with it, but that std plays better than my more expensive strats, I put California 50s in it by seymour duncan, since then this guitar is a cut above all my others, everyone that plays it, thinks it is a keeper

@UKToneKing

I choose maple because you can get genuinely bright tones, and it it is alot easier to warm the tone up to a rosewood standard, than it is to brighten a rosewoods sound to match a maples

[UKToneKing]

@mikesta99 how long U been building guitars then ? most blues players choose rosewood, I like rosewood over maple, for the simple reason, I think it is faster to play, maple normally gets sticky in the heat, the lacquer gets sticky, I am noticing it more lately, never liked maple for that reason, I guess without the lacquer on it would be fine, so that may happen in the next day or two

@UKToneKing my strat was playing up once ( lose wire ) and I got that 3 pickups on, it sounded pretty sweet, it had that bridge and middle tone with the woodiness of the neck, I miss that soldering iron out me thinks, bet it would sound nice on the plus as well

[UKToneKing]

I like how the strat plus is set up, it has the TBX working in the bridge position, normally strats have no tone control in that position stock, which I think is not good, as that pickup can be harsh, I have another LTD strat with a TBX & that is bypassed in bridge position, although I am going 2 wire that 2 change it, also my other std with no TBX has the tone control active in bridge position, I am thinking of adding bridge,middle,neck in parallel to the 5 way selector, as that is a nice tone

I am really into my gold lace censors at the moment, I am more into them that my duncans, which are vintage California 50s, I pluged the plus into my sf vibrochamp then I plugged my other strat in with the duncans, the duncans are a fraction more lively, & are a touch more sensitive, put that will be down to the shielding on the censors, but over all, I am really digging the censors, as U can use all positions without have to roll of on the amps treble ect, my duncans are in a strat with TBX

@UKToneKing

Sure youve seen a guitar before it was a guitar

Are you missing that I build them from blanks? Im building a Telecaster right now.

Tone is subjective, to my ears, I like the sound of a maple neck for blues. Stevie ray and Mayor may use Rosewood, so thats their preference.

@mikesta99 no it's not me, but my point was, I have been around wood from the ground up, seen a guitar before it was anymore that a piece of wood, and I have had the discussion with him, and he is in my opinion, that wood on a electric guitar makes no tonal changes, apart from hollow body's which adds acoustics, just remember, U saying on here that maple is brighter than rosewood, is no different that me saying, maple and rosewood sound the same, most blues players play rosewood tho, so ?
