Can you provide a little detail about the pickups? Their tonal quality, and the tonestyler control instead of normal tone controls?
THis is coming from a Fender Statocaster guy who is used to a 5 way switch. The most advanced I have gone is the Clapton boost circuit. Your guitar is serious bait. You are chumming the water proper. I have a Taylor BTO Sinker Redwood with Macasser Back and sides that I never thought of parting with. You peaked my interest. |

Thanks for your questions, The best way to think of the tone styler is like a fine tuner for mids, most tone controls are less than subtle on todays guitars even on some very very nice ones. it'a either on or off with only 1-2 useful tones in the middle. The TS switching allows for almost infinite control over your mids and gives you over a dozen creamy tones in the middle. Pickups are 6.8K in the neck and 7.9K in the bridge. These are very articulate and smooth PAFs. They are very touch sensitive with that syrupy quality. When digging in to a note you hear it bloom with an almost 3D effect. The neck pickup is clear, without the typical overbearing bass associated with many PAFs, and has a 70s Santana quality to it. The bridge is balanced, not overly bright and has that nice midrange bark associated with a good PAF. |
