I've recently detuned both of my Strats a semitone. Intuitively it shouldn't make as much difference as it does, but it really does.Jim.h wrote:

Lotto come up? You're accumulating some great guitars at the mo.
Keeping things simple....
Guitar - lead - Friedman BE - 2x12.
No fluffing around with effects and what not. its amazing the tunes you write when you strip things right down.

I've got a mongrelcaster with a Jazzmaster bodyshape in Drop B... Love Jazzmaster shapes for heavy music for some reason.
Got an SD JB in the bridge though which I dunno if I like

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
Just blowing my own trumpet here ... Revision 4 of my BadLad 6 coil pickup sounds phecking amazing!
This version is in humbucker format, noiseless, and sounds like a cross between a ballsy P90 and a hot conventional single coil.
On to making the pickup cover and the bridge version...
(But first I need to make a second one for a very patient person)

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
If you are referring to the all Kwila guitar then there is only one (at least made by me, I think BG is making one as well). To buy 10 seems overkillMichael wrote:What the fuck is that and how do I buy 10 of them

If you are referring to my pickup design.... there is a short waiting list but it has been a long wait
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Once I have sorted revision 4 and received more feedback, I can start making some for interested parties.
Current shapes supported are Gretsch Dyna Bridge & Neck, and Humbucker Neck. Humbucker Bridge and P90 shape coming in the future.

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
Not quite a guitar but I picked up this Kentucky Mandolin last week. It's a beautiful instrument! I've been looking for a great mandolin for a while now, without having to get up in to the expensive ones, and this fits the bill perfectly. It's very loud for such a small body, and as it often goes with well made instruments, it's very articulate in the freqs that need to cut through in a mix. Thanks to Keith Mac in Hamilton.
