Watching that made me go to their website.

Reading around there got me to buy one of their CDs.

Cool stuff!

Will you have one available at the store to try out?

(why do I feel like I have to watch out for the DEA when I ask that?)

.......and a question after watching the video.....is the trem arm bolted from the back like the Axis or pop in like a Supersport?

Maybe if you ask him nicely you can try the one out that's going to redburst21

I've heard some pretty nasty honks from oboe players

I think Aerosmith honked on a bobo once too...

LoL!

My local dealer has ordered 2. I will be definately trying these out alongside my 20ths before I pass judgement. If I like them THAT much, I will probably end up buying one... or two...

Split humbuckers will produce a nice trebly clean tone. But that's still not entirely a single coil tone. It's a nice enough compromise. But PAFs tend to still have that honk to them, which is pretty evident on that clip. It's a good thing that the 25th is a 22 fretter HH guitar. But I couldn't really hear how the chambered body was altering the tone. I guess I'll really have to do try and see. (Then again, I still can't tell between chambered or solid Les Pauls either).

Thanks for checking it out guys! The chambers really become noticeable with making it sing through an amp. It's a more controllable feedback at a tolerable level. Like BP said, it's similar to an Axis but the parallel/series gives a bunch of different tone options. Also makes a really nice "rolled off" dirty tone possible. Plus, my shoulder really digs the lack of wood, haha. At least that's my experience.

I didn't get the honk thing either.
Quack I understand. Honk on a guitar? No.

Ever played a really woody sounding Les Paul? Some of those which are very mid rangey would produce a very nasal "dawwww...." sort of tone, and when plugged in, the neck pickup... Sliding up and down on the low E string on a PAF sometimes gives that vibe... Or at least, that's what I call honk.

Could be the wrong term though.

Stick to playing with your Balls, Lionel.

Honk ?? - Seems like you've been playing with your horn a bit too much

(although I do think I get what you're getting at)

 

[robelinda2]

Spot on Lionel, thats what I find on a lot of dual humbucker guitars, that clean honk which is so undesirable, cant beat a great single coil like on the AL's or silo specials, id rather not compromise- life is too short!

 

[mikeller]

Beautiful guitar, very nice sounds, fabulous playing Travis. I want one!!!

 

[TwAn]
