Yeah, just change a pickup. Done now. Heights adjusted, everything works. I am never going to try and work on this guitar again - I’ll take it down to Christopher if I make any more changes.

Mutt, you’re an artist. This works exactly as well wanted it too, it’s not overbearing in comparison to the split bridge pickup like the Duncan was. It’s warm as a humbucker with hi gain, is glassy and stratty when split with low gain. I’m not getting any volume dropout in the middle position when split.

Top work.

Looks nice to have matched pickups again too.

Glad you you like it mate. I take pride in my work and do my best so it's nice when it gets a thumbs up...;)

Enjoy and I look forward to the tones..

Was figuring how to do the tone examples. I might just do a video and cycle through all the options.

That would be cool... Although I also just like the straight ahead tunes you guys do. Its good to have a broad mix of styles and approaches that I can put up on my cv. Its kind of like how I became good at guitar building, people liked what I did and word spread pretty well among those that value good archtop work. The work speaks for itself. You dont need a whole bunch of social media crap just a good reliable word of mouth and a good product that people can rely on.. Thats what builds success... You're comments are as valuable to me as a million like farcebook..

I will probably soon reach out to you guys for some stuff so stay tuned and like I said enjoy. Thats worth as much to me as anything else..

You welcome to any of the raw tracks from stuff I've done recently. I'm quite pleased with the rhythm tones in my latest tune. Have a listen and see if you want the wavs.

Doesn't matter. Your gear is just a way of realising your sound. Maximizing the ease with which you can produce it. You have a sound in your head and your gear is the way you get it out... It evolves, it changes but it will still be you..
