Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
That looks great all finished up! The weight (or lack thereof) of the guitar was pretty surprising when I had the chance to pick it up the other day.

Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
That is a tweaked Heilo Mk2 body shape. Like BG's black P90 one (Lucy) with a more scooped lower cutaway and the 'modern carve' top (as opposed to the 'vintage carve'). Darkness and RuBear's Heilos are Mk4 shaped, which leaves more hand-space up high on the FB and is more offset.slash-ed wrote:That's awesome. What body shape is that, it seems different from the outward-pointingness of your Heilo shape? Or is that a Heilo mk. XI or something...

This guitar is truly awesome. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge thanks to Adrian. The almost 3 months figuring out specs, and the subsequent many months of build have definitely - oh so definitely - been worthwhile.
I'm really impressed with every single thing about it - I think it's turned out even better than I had allowed myself to hope. (and I'm really rather chuffed Adrian found it so satisfying to build as well ... everyone's a winner )

Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
that is aweso-fuken-lutely-some beautiful looking bit of work there Ash and Tsuken. I demand you bring it down for a high volume test here before you leave the country tsuken old boy.
Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
Very nice Tsuken/Ash, loving that neck.
After your honeymoon you should do a review, specifically on how you find the acoustic-whatsity system.

Ok I got rid of my Foal quote, but I found a new one.

Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
mmmm sexy
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
Also what is your reasoning behind the "off" positions on the series/off/parallel controls?

Re: Ash Stuff - 2010
It's nice and light, even with the hardware on board. Not floating away sort of light; it has a good heft, but doesn't weigh you down at all.

I actually stumbled upon a particular surprising and cool sound while messing around with it at Adrian's workshop: both humbuckers switched to parallel, volume down a bit, blended with the piezo acoustic with volume also down somewhat: surprisingly funky/stratty, we thought. There's a lot of versatility to this guitar, and it'll take me some messing around to get it down. I'm just pleased Ash managed to translate properly all the mad wiring from my feverish mind to the actual guitar
That way I can switch one of them off, and use the pickup selector to get the stuttery effect you can do with an LP with the volume rolled off one pickup. That's pretty much it, reallyRuBear wrote:Also what is your reasoning behind the "off" positions on the series/off/parallel controls?
Khann, K1w1, the blue is fantasmic. I'm somewhat amazed it turned out so well, considering the way we tried to settle on a colour in a trans-Tasman, online, different monitors, scavenged internet photos sort of way Basically it's yet another testament to the fact that Ash is the man
cdog, RuBear, the neck is truly a thing of beauty. The grain, the feel, the whole look of it ... I love it.
BG, yes. Yes it is very sexy
Capt, we were talking today about a visit to you on Friday before we fly out, if you're around. I'll sms you.
Cheers all - most especially to Ash
