What do you think of the mod to my artificial ball

[vexed73]

I put some GFS pickups in it. I put the pickup rings up there to make up for some sloppy routing.

looks like an OLP to me?

Probably a reason for that. It is the best deal on a 12 string though.

i played the 12 string OLP the other day, not bad, nice and cheap but not that nasty!!

What do you mean by nasty?

 

[robelinda2]

well a lot of cheap guitars are nasty, with high actions that you cant adjust, with all sorts of things wrong, thats why they are cheap! But the OLP's are certainly the exception.

my first guitar was the ultimate cheap n nasty.

That looks pretty nice... finding a good, inexpensive twelve string electric is a trick, and you gotta like the form factor

I think I need cream pickup rings and knobs but the pickups came with those rings so I used them.

How does it Play?

 

[vexed73]

They play really well. A friend of mine who owns a guitar store bought one of the double neck OLP's. That thing played excellent then I played his now for sale Epiphone double neck. The Epiphone didnt even come close the olp was just as easy to play as a regular six string I was very impressed. I dont play out that much so I just wanted one to mess around with so I bought this model. When I opened the package this one played just as well as the double neck. I did lower the action a bit but overall if you want a 12 string to mess around on this is the one to get. The stock pickups are allright but wanted less output so went with these. I have not tried these pickups with the Tube amp just with the guitar port but they sound pretty good. They are definitely bright and jangely in the bridge and very full in the neck.

i have played a few OLP's and the biggest factor was the weight difference and the necks felt very spoungy to me so i was wondering about the 12 ,thanx very good responce helpful!

I have not heard of GFS pickups - what are they like?

 

[vexed73]

They are guitarfetish.com products. They are really good for the money from what alot of people say. I have only used the Brooklyns and now the memphis. I was looking for an old sound and they give it to me but have never really tried the pickups they are modeled on. Definitely worth looking at and cheap enough to try out.
