I'm starting to really like this guitar!

I was kind of discouraged at first with the high gain tones from the bridge humbucker (of course not bad, but I'm comparing it to my JP) because someone on here told me that the standard series was the switch in the down position.

Well, after watching the Blues Saraceno 25th video I realized that Series is in the up position. WOW!

Anyway, I love this guitar now more than ever and the better understanding I get of it's tonal possibilities, the more I love it.

Thanks EBMM for making the best guitars on the planet!

loooool you only have 10 position to experiment. The parallel intermediate position are pretty obvious, how come it took you so long to discover the series position :p ?

But I'm glad you finally dig it, that's an excellent guitar and one of my biggest regret not to have one but who knows ....

The 25th is hands down the Secret Weapon of modern guitars.

Case closed. Now let's play some more. :D:D

Excellent man- always a thrill to find something you love.

I'm thinking about doing the same switching on my HH AL now- I really do love the sound of those pickups in parallel.

I cant believe it took me so long either!

I guess it's because I play my JP's more.

This demo from World Guitars makes me want one real bad. Might just be the ideal guitar for me in my non-metal endeavours...

I love mine, too.

The variety of tones I can get is stunning. Between the chambered body and a very functional tone control, I can even get a great jazz guitar sound out of it.

Again, way to go EBMM!
