Don’t get too excited Les...I still love my Kemper too.
I read they take all the nutrients out of your tone.
The good thing is, in this day and age there's something for everyone. Great time to be a guitar player!I read they take all the nutrients out of your tone.
OOF!So I’d be remiss not to mention these...
Yeah they were really that good, I thought why not. I really do admire these guitars, they’re like a form of magic to me.Three?!? That’s BOSS!
I believe everyone in this forum knows what they’re talking about. So I consider myself 100% sold!Been playing this one, and have to submit it for your consideration as the most toneful P90-powered Tone Monster I’ve ever played... and I’ve played many!
They are insane.I believe everyone in this forum knows what they’re talking about. So I consider myself 100% sold!
You know, I don’t do this often, but I feel bad for you. I’m going to offer to come over, play it for you and let you know how it feels, let you hear how it sounds, and maybe break it in a little for you. I just feel like it’s the right thing to do.And the hell of it? I had a new guitar delivered two days ago, and my arm is still in a sling. I probably have 2 to 3 weeks before I can even play it. Oh well, at least I can stare at it.
Your Pernambuco acoustic is mentioned at 12:25 by Paul. Congrats!In my guitar lifetime, I've had 6 or 7 major tone events.
The first was late 80s. Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Mark III. Game changing and it carried me through most of a decade.
Second was the Millennium Dragon. Most of you probably know the guitar, and a few of you know how one of them came to be mine. That big chunk of Brazilian rosewood made me weak in the knees. I'm the only owner, and it was so special that I vowed only to play original music on it. I felt that it deserved it, and still do. I've mentioned before that I didn't even look at other guitars for a decade after getting this, because what was the point.
Next was Paul's Dirty 100. After having been fully seduced by Brazilian rosewood, it was eye (ear?) opening to play this package. The dirty top is amazing, and I trust that Paul really did choose it for its tonal properties. Peruvian Mahogany neck with a Dalbergia board is a treat - to much so that I got a spare, granted with a glossy top. One of my acoustics also goes the Peruvian route.
Next was my Laskin: old growth Brazilian with a cedar top (classical) or spruce (steel) shaped by a master is bloody magic. Notes just don't ring any truer.
Then through a slightly unusual set of circumstances, a Pernambuco bodied acoustic found its way into my hands. Its tone is unlike any acoustic I've played. There aren't many of them around made by any builder, so don't miss a chance to see what it is about. Not too long ago I posted a cheesy video of me playing a song on five acoustics - this and the Laskins were among them. Just picture yourself in the bell tower of an ancient cathedral - that's the ring you will get from this guitar.
And then there is the violin prototype. For this guitar, the prototype is very different from the guitars in the run. On the surface, you might expect it to be much like the Dragon, and it does have gobs of that stereotypical Brazilian neck flavour. But it has a lot of other stuff going on. Most notable to me was how well balanced the electronics are - more than any other guitar I've spent a reasonable amount of time with. You plug this sucker in and let it roar.
I have other guitars that suit certain tonal spaces, but these are the tone machines.
