"My only quibbles are the aforementioned dive-only tremolo (certainly a matter of taste) and its rather heavy alder body.."

Heavy body?

 

[robelinda2]

interesting.......i guess it probably is heavy compared to playing air guitar with a tennis raquet.

i thought it's poplar body... is it?

quote from vintage guitar : "The setup on his Music Man axe facilitates this perfectly, accommodating 11 different pickup combinations"

is there any guitar has more pick up combination than ebmm sm?11..wow..
when i played that guitar in a music store last month.. i feel like i'm in a air plane cockpit with lots of switch.. ... feels like u can control anything from there...

and for me, in soundwise.. i never heard something better than those 11 combination..

No, the sil spec is alder. I think the OLP sil spec is poplar.

Never thought the sil spec was heavy, though neither of mine are featherweights. I've found that extremely light weight alder tends to lack definition and punch.

Yeah, my SM

Added a coil split for both HBs ... 19 combinations

Added a piezo to that ... 39 combinations

PERV........


on the morse .............the bridge pickup is 12k. & each coil is 6k in series......so when u split the morse bridge pickup , it's still hot enough to sound GREAT as a single coil. & i'm thinkin it sounds so tele like due to the plate under the bobbin. whatever......it sounds really good split !!!!!!! with hummers ....this usually isn't the case.
i keep meaning to see how that bridge pickup would sound in parallel.
