[Raven17]

Congrats! That's killer.

Great burst...love the upper horn!! ( that sounds kinda weird, but it's the truth!!)

 

[MA Pete]

Turned out great, Alan!

Great finish.

Those Gold MOP birds with MOP outlines really "Pop" visually from that dark board! Killer. I am glad I did the same birds on mine, but the look is different on mine with the lighter and highly figured board. Great idea you had for the birds, they turned out great on both of ours!!

Cool that we spec'ed them together on the same day in August, and they arrived to us the same day as well. Great Christmas presents for us!

Thanks again for the killer job in picking the woods for mine!

I can't avert my eyes from both of these stunning beauties...
Are the pickups identical in both? How much they do differ tonally?
Granted the trem will add it sonic character but any favorite so far?

The finish on these guitars is excellent, but I have to say, you nailed the spec on the zebra bobbins and mounting rings. They along with the bound fingerboard and scrape binding really make the finish pop. That flame is amazing, too.

I A/Bed them a lot just now and set the action and pickup height fairly close. They both have the 59/09 treble but the uncovered version in the trem sounds a little hotter to me. The stoptail is a tad brighter, not in a bad way, more of a mean SG kind of snarly tone. The trem version sounds a little fuller, again maybe the added midrange from the extra output. The bass pickup in the trem is a 57/08 and sounds a little beefier than the 59/09 in the stoptail. I definitely have a new favorite, but the stoptail is a close second.

You rang? Yes, I've put on a little weight with the holidays, but there's no reason to call it out here!
