Thank you but wish something better than that ma brother.

And keep practicing you’ll get there.

Recently got an old dual Rec, spent the snowstorm yesterday giving it a solid run with one of my Tokais that rarely gets love.

 

[Blix]

Started removing the lacquer on the neck of my Edwards LP. Started with 80 grit sandpaper, but using a razor blade like this was way more effective.

Going to make it a bit slimmer with less shoulders. And oiled wood feels so much better.

That was awesome dude! When you went up for that bend at 1:17, I was thinking you'd switch to the neck PU. Some cream might work well right there.

I listen to too much Petrucci! Er, I mean, a lot of Petrucci.

that was the plan to switch to neck but my brain glitched out…. You can see after those long bends i did switch to neck….

Funny enough my band mate is a petteuci fan boy and he was the one who got me playing neck… i used to play only on bridge….

I like his suspended animation album and yesty jam … i cant remember exactly what its called.

Finally got my Soloist (the second one, that first one sucked and I sold it within days of getting it) last night.

Set it up today, then this evening I yanked the bridge pup and replaced it with an Elysian Trident II.

Gotta say, as much as I love this guitar, I was pretty disappointed to see the trash $15 pickup Jackson sold it with…

But, I did spend hours playing it today and wrote some fun new riffs that will likely wind up in something soon.

Now to sell something to free up the cash for a Gotoh 1996T to replace the FR Special and some new tuners.

Just remember..., it's "Majesty", spelled backwards.

Tyler or Lindert?
Pick your poison.

The Lindert is horrible but the Tyler has grown on me over the years. Helped by how good the guitars are.

The Indonesian Soloist is good for the money but the pickups and hardware need to be replaced. I am surprised they make a Soloist that cheap at all but you do get a Laurel fingerboard and plastic inlays. I would look for a second hand USA SSL3 .

I grabbed this to have a beater next to my desk (work from home) that I can grab and plunk on during breaks, etc. Scored a good deal on it knowing I was going to swap the pup and hardware, so I got what I wanted/paid for and I'm happy with it. I'd love to have a USA Soloist some day, but it wouldn't be an SSL3 as I don't like middle pickups and really have no use for them. Now, an HH or HS, that I could get with...

My disappointment just comes in as these were closing in on a grand brand new, with non-swirled SLX DXs just a little less, and the pickups probably cost Jackson $2.50 each... I know there's insane markup in brand new guitars in most retail environments, but that seems excessive. I guess it's just... #Fender...

I got studio burn over the weekend and the last two weeks, I’ve just been couch jamming with the Shiva this week. Got ultra-boomery with a Zendrive in front of it, amp Gain down around 5-6 w/ just the Multitap Delay in the loop, some ridiculous tones with the Orville there. I gotta record a clip of it, but the in-between position of the pickups on that Orville sound like a cocked wah/phase pedal stuck in one spot, there’s like this ‘ooowwaaa’ around the start of the notes that’s I’ve never heard come out of any other guitar I own. No clue how I’ll end up using it, but it‘s fun as hell switching pickups and jumping to it.

I don't think I've ever seen a negative comment about a Tyler's playability, sound or build quality.

The Lindert always sounded great to me. It has a certain resonance and note attack that makes it unique enough for me to have held onto it for 20 yrs.

G&B pickups used by all the big names are around $5 each which is one of the reasons that Charvel guitars are so incredible value having top branded parts on guitars costing under $1k.

Just another reason to like Solars: Duncan pickups

Dropped this down to D Standard.

Or “Motley Tuned.”

Or what Ben Eller calls “Sad But Tuned.”

I wonder if it is out of phase like Greenie. I did that to an LP one time when
I installed pickups in it, and the phase was flipped in the Middle position. I
left it. Has that nasally honk to it.

Gary Moore has quite a few songs/solos with that tone when he owned Greenie.

That’s what I’m suspecting, I keep forgetting to record a sample of it.
