Switched to a Reflex this weekend.

[petel]

Thanks to a fellow member here, made an even swap for my orange silhouette.

Loved the silhouette, don't get the wrong idea. But I played a reflex last week and it felt perfect to me.

Not to mention I felt more comfortable with the 22 frets than 24, dont know why. While I lose the single coil, the wiring allows for comparable single cool tones. The wider neck also feels a bit roomier for me, plus I've always hung onto maple board guitars longer in the past.

But it worked out perfectly. Both parties happy! Nice guy too. Cheers!

I LOVE my 25th. It's just a one of a kind guitar. Positions 2/4 in parallel. Quack!

Welcome to the 25roc!

I don't think mine is a 25th though... but thank you! Yeah I agree, the 2/4 spots sound great in either series or parallel (especially the later though, you're right! roll of the tone and it honks!)

Ohh yeah!

Congrats!

I'm a bass player, but my band-mate guitarist seriously considering an EBMM reflex guitar in white color, 'cause I play white reflex bass, ...and that would be a pair!

How is it sounds in general? We play wide music genre set list, I think it could cover all?

Scooby those 2 positions are a long time favorite of mine on the ASS but I agree that the reflex is awesome

When the guitar is in series it sounds like 2 hums with splittable coils in the 2/4 positions. but when you flip it to parallel it makes everything sound a bit softer (volume-wise) and a bit janglier but with an edge to it... if that makes sense?

I haven't found any videos that really capture how it sounds. But I really dig it, you can get a wide selection of edgy/full EBMM humbucker and split humbucker sounds when in series, and then a wide choice of single-type sounds when it's flipped over to parallel.

Thanks petel!

I'll talk about that with my guitarist!

Ooooh! Ok yeah, in that case I'm in! Agreed black looks amazing but is impossible to keep clean

hey, cool! what color did you get?

 

[jzeijen]

Congrats! The black with the binding and the maple fretboard looks really cool!

I also got a reflex recently, it's a great instrument, a real workhorse versatility wise. Only minor drawback to me is that the reflex doesn't have a nice birdsey maple neck. Since it's a different color from yours, here's a pic:

looks awesome man! No birdseye on the neck but the top seems to have some

Looks great. Very nice burst.

 

[ScoobySteve]

You're gonna love it man. Slap some 11's on there and you get a massive, thick and creamy tone. Joe B does it so much justice. Just sounds phenomenal and it cleans up great. A true swiss army knife guitar!

I just purchased a black one from another Forumite. Eagerly awaiting delivery. Something different than my 2 Silo Specs.
