If we’re taking orders, I’d like a 12 fret acoustic at a high S2 or low Core price point please.

Ish is also giving one away - details on their site. As long as you’re not a dragon in Paris that is…

This is very true. If I have a certain light on in my living room all my single coil guitars have noise, and my music room is 40 feet away.

I really dig the green. I’ve had a Vela itch for far too long now, may need to scratch that this year after I finally settle on a 12 fret acoustic. The new Mahi Blue color they’re using on the S2’s this year is also pretty sweet!

Ha! Clickbait, but funny…

Both of mine (19 and 21) operate this way as well.

It’s usually around this time of year they announce new colors (and limited edition special colors) so maybe something new is on the horizon (pun intended). That being said, I love my Golden Mesa - it’s a nice, warm gold color. I was bummed when I heard they were retiring it.

What kind of headphones are you using? My Helix sounds like garbage with a good pair of Beats, but sounds excellent with my Audio Technica studio monitors. I think you need something more flat and neutral sounding so you don’t add unnecessary color to the amps sound.

Fender pickups have that sort of “v” shape at the bottom of the bobbin where the connections are soldered, and the pickup cavities in the body are routed accordingly. SS pickups are just oval shaped and the body is routed that way as well. If the SE SS is the same, you’d need to do some minor...

I found the Ironman Mini (it’s actually quite large) to work incredibly well at shaving some decibels off. Going past half way in attenuation I found my amps lost some of their character and dynamics so I stick to my Helix if I need it quieter. The Ironman is also 8 ohms only if that factors in.

New silver sky colors came out after 1 year, if the Fiore follows suit you should see them next month for NAMM (and be able to actually buy them by April or so).

SEs are laminated with a block under the bridge, they won’t be affected like an acoustic in terms of having the bridge sink or the body crack. But any guitar, solid or otherwise, will exhibit adverse effects from prolonged exposure to very low or high humidity in terms of tuning stability or...

I have a 2021 maple board and it has the updated frets. I do still slightly prefer my 2019 rosewood with the smaller frets, but everyone has their own preferences!

I consider the neck and fretboard to be different things, but I don’t see what is specified for the fretboard wood? Obviously if it’s something like rosewood or ebony it won’t be painted anyway.
