DuBaldo was right, agian-WOW-25th Inside

[Sweat]

Well here it is the 25th I just recieved from DuBaldo Music, all I can say is Fing WOW, BP and crew hit a homerun on this one, knew I was going to get one just did not think it would be so soon but when Pete posted this on, it was perfect and I did not hesitate.

So here are the pics of the first fourm 25th, sorry Headstock

[Jack FFR1846]

Yah, Keith....I'm really glad you put the ASS next to the 25th. I had in my mind that the 25th was waaaay bigger. I like it even more now!

Thanks guys it is awesome!

drrrroooooooooolllllllllll!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

More pics please!!!!

Foggy this is a must for you time for No.2
I will get you some more pics, want some outdoor shots but the weather here today sucks.

Holy ****, that is awesome looking. Thanks for the side-by-side pic with the Axis SS - it shows the differences between the two shapes.

How do you like the parallel settings?

Yes the 25th and ASS are different, why i posted that pic to show the difference.

Love the parallel settings, that was a big selling point for me, makes this guiatr super versatile, fell in love with the parallel settings with the Silo Bass, just could not handle the large gauge strings on the Silo Bass, made my elbow hurt but this is perfect.

It is lightweight, comfortable and a killer neck.

Congratulations, great looking guitar!

I'm going to resist the temptation to say the obvious thing!

What's the weight/size like compared to the regular ASS?

Thanks, well in very non technical terms, the over all length of the guiatr is about 1\2 a hedstock taller and the weight feels pretty much the same as my ASS with peizo and the forearm contour is great.

On another note this guitar has put me back on an amp search, what i have doesnt cut it for this guitar.

1st off CONGRATS!

Does the guitar feel much bigger than the ASS? Is it an easy switch from one to the other? or does it take some adjusting?

Would you care to elaborate on the amp comment? (Is that a Blues JR.?)

luv,

It really does not feel any bigger to me, and no problem switching between the two, I find the 25th as comfortable as I do the ASS, which has always been great for me.

Yes it is a Blues Jr. and it is a nice amp, dont get me wrong, but with all the tonal possibilities from the 25th a more versatile amp is in order, something with more than one channel and controls on the front to make it easier to tweak.

It will be my no.2. If not......then it'll be my no.1
You can bring the guitar here and take some more pics. It's 75 and not a cloud in the sky!

LoL! That starts off like a letter to your honey!

The 25th is seriously not making my decision on which ball to get any easier. LOL

Hey Keith, (or Mr. Fingbeagles seeing that I'm more of a youngen here) would you mind posting a video clip if possible?

 

[fogman]

SS,

Did you see the other 25th video threads???
Pete was kind enough to do one, and Travis Larson as well.

 

[GWDavis28]

Keith, very nice.

I thought that the 25th was a BFR, there is no 12th fret special inlay?

Wow, that is a beautiful guitar! I bet it sounds just as lovely. Enjoy it!

 

[Nik_Left_RG]

SS,

Yeah, I did, strangely enough I've posted in all three threads as well! My sincere apologies for not beie ng clearer with my post.

The reason for asking was because I wanted to make a choice on which ball to purchase (as it will be my first) and wanted to get as much diversity in hearing its tone as I could.

I saw Pete's, TL's, and the Mayer vids (thanks to all for taking the time to do so!) but would very much appreciate as much diversity in sound, seeing that every individual plays in their own way, and their rigs reflect a different taste and approach to music.

I'm the kind of guy that tries to exhaust all options in research before making a purchase, so I know I have chosen the right one for me. I realized, perhaps, to some extent, it does bear a burden on others, which I apologize for, but at the same time is a contribution that I am extremely grateful for.

Thanks!
