I can't explain it but if you have experienced it you will know what I am trying or failing to convey in words.
PDX,
Good luck on your build and keep us posted of your progress.

Tim, I have not experienced a Walnut/Redwood guitar plugged in yet. But now you've got my curiosity piqued. I wonder why this combination of woods might respond so well. I have a brand new, as yet unsold Walnut/ Redwood 000-size that sounds like a chorus of angels. I think I will get an LR Baggs Lyric and put it in there. Maybe this guitar will be a good stage instrument.
The Lyric, and the K&K Pure Mini are my two favorite pickups. Do you have any particular favorites for amplifying such a guitar?
By the way- First time I've seen you with a mustache. You and Steve Kinnaird could be brothers!
