Re: Slowy's Guitars
Confess I'm curious to try them in the Korinacaster. Did you buy yours aftermarket Jb?

Re: Slowy's Guitars
I've mentioned an old friend, Tony Wenzlick who builds unusual guitars. He can knock them together with incredible speed but what he's doing is not so much building a guitar as exploring some aspect or design innovation that has intrigued him. He'll build something, maybe make 3-4 more tweaking whatever he's chasing, then ditch them and move on. The trail of discarded guitars this guy creates is astonishing!
This one has Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides with a Redwood top. Its neck is huge, and I mean huge by my standards. Its action is too high and not able to be properly fixed; a typical Tony proof of concept.
But its got a loud, deep growl and learning a piece on this makes it instantly easy on any other guitar, it sounds great for slide and I just liked this one at first sight.

Ryoji Matsuoka M50
I’ve always like Matsuokas. They sound good and play well and they're reasonably priced. Don’t play classical guitar much, but it’s a good tool to have in the kit.
This one broke my heart when I saw it on Trademe. A victim of hideous abuse and neglect, it looked like it had been submerged for a month. (It had.) Its heart was still beating so I rescued it.
It’s lovely. Deeply scarred and battered, it has shaken off the trauma and sings sweetly. And so much visual character!

Re: Slowy's Guitars
Do you think a tele bridge pickup can combine well with a p90 neck pickup?

Lollar Special T is the correct answer.
Custom Shop Broadcaster too but not a hot P90

Re: Slowy's Guitars
Actually, the bar over the bridge makes it almost useless for me. My picking style relies heavily on palm muting and that's just not possible here.
Cool sound though.

Re: Slowy's Guitars
You have to adapt, I found it to be a great anchor point. I'm shit at picking without
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
