That sounds awesome even thru my phone speakers. I'll give a better listen on some cans or my computer tomorrow. I really thought all the positions sounded great.
What a nice clip, Schefman. The in-between tones are KILLER, especially the second tone you recorded. That guitar is Swiss Army material. VERY COOL!!!
Thanks guys - the guitar really does have a lot of tones in it, and I didn't even fuss with the volume and tone controls on the guitar, they vary it a lot, too. If I had to pick between my guitars for a favorite, I'd sure have a difficult time, but one thing about this guitar is that it's desert island material due to its versatility.
What is missing in my demo are two things:
Thing one, the guitar really does sound better in the room than on the recording, and I think that's because I just put up a 57. So I'm going to give that another go, and see if I can get a little closer to what I'm hearing in the room. Maybe the Rode NTR will do it. The guitar also sounds more stellar with the PRS amps than the Mesa, although I have to say the Mesa is a sweet little amp, too, and does show off the pickup positions pretty well.
Thing two, I'm embarrassed by the playing. OK, I was never great, but this...
I offer my two numb fingers as an excuse, I'm having a devil of a time doing the things I normally do. The timings are off, subtle vibrato is impossible, finger pressure is a joke - I can't feel the strings at
all with the two fingers! I sound like a beginner. I have to look at the fretboard to see which string a finger is on at this point. So I'm missing any "natural" feel, and when I'm looking at my fingers to see where they are, it causes my picking to be off.
I've never been a very fast player, but at least I could put the fingers where I knew they needed to go before this without having to look. So hopefully this problem will be fixed soon.
But as my wife says, "Quit worrying about it. You can't play guitar if you're dead!"
So I'm thankful for the surgery anyway.
Very sweet sounding guitar Les...I'm wondering how many of the 40 they are making are still available.
I heard that half of them were destined for overseas markets. Two have shown up here so far, and I know of someone else in my state who got one, but I haven't seen a lot of NGD posts elsewhere. I'd guess there are some available.
Mine only arrived at Jack's store on the 30th of December. They may still be building some.
