Nicholasbt Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Sound sample: Dunlop half wounds (more thumpy, less mwah tone than flts or roundwounds) sounds are: Neck pickup tone on and off, bridge pickup tone on and off, the same in higher register and then mixes between both pickups. All passive, straight into audio interface Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YM0_WMNLf5TUQ47p0Ayg7_gqikT7iyZG/view?usp=drivesdk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, that's one of the nicest single cut designs that I've seen - elegant, coherent and avoids the bulbous bulk of some alternatives 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a Shuker, this is only the second example where a maker got it right IMHO. To such an extent I didn't even notice it was a single cut until @Cuzzie pointed it out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lownote Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Afterthought - on further inspection I can't figure out the headstock badge. It's curved shape almost works for me, but at the same time it seems to be a sticky outy add on? I know this section is not the place for discussion, but as the owner (or maker?) seems to be aboard this thread, I thought I'd balance out my total admiration for the body and especially the single cut shape with a query re. headstock design. Bin me if I done bad. Edited September 12, 2020 by lownote12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin me if I done bad. i second that... and would also be nice to see the back of the headstock, something written there? any chance of putting some frets in it, if you’re the maker or have contact with him/her/them? cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasbt Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks for the input yes, the logo is a wood piece. back of the headstock has the signature, city and date. frets are of course possible to add, but there would be an uncharge of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
