    Tim this is wonderful and I appreciate your amazing and inspiring videos. I also wanted to make mention, in case you did not know: Kent Armstrong makes a jazz inspired "quad rail". They are a hair pricey and might not be in your asthetic, though you could have the "rail" split so that the two closet to the neck would imitate a humbucker "ending" around where a normal double coil would. I hope I'm explaining myself in the way I'm intending though I know I'm super sensative to where humbuckers are located so it is an option. Thank you for all you do.

  • @pharmerdavid1432
    @pharmerdavid1432 Год назад +7

    New guitars can be inspirational, as this one seems to be, although Tim's playing is usually inspirational. Choosing a Guild full-sized humbucking pickup (they made a mini that looks similar but smaller) is interesting, as is moving the pole pieces off the nodal point at the "24th fret". I find doing that makes a subtle but significant change to the timbre, like on a SG. It seems to effect the overtones, for better or for worse is in the ears of the beholder. *Tx T*

    • @Markleford
      @Markleford Год назад

      Yes, was going to mention this in my other comment -- the neck pickup on most guitars is typically at one-quarter of the length of the string from the bridge, at the node of vibration, and it just depends on your style and application as to whether it suits the playing. If I were to make the choice on a one-pickup guitar, I might have opted for similar placement for sonic reasons, not merely for the necessity of accommodating the "geometry" of the neck.
      But then again, with the traditional jazz box sound you don't really need the extra overtones that creep in the closer to the bridge a pickup is placed, and the acoustic projection fills in the high end anyway, so it just goes to show that theory takes a back seat to real-world results!

      I think I would have specified a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover or a Lollar Imperial pickup for a more Gibson-y vibe. A Johnny Smith style suspended pickup would be another interesting option. It's all a matter of preference. Tim has this guitar just singing and it sounds fantastic.

    great guitar. not brittle to me at all, but very transparent
    with relative fat b and e-string. exactly as it shoud be, at least to my ears.
    wrong bridge, Tim. was actually the very first thing i saw: bridge for unwound G,
    played with wound G.. and than you talked about it.
    too much work, i guess, in the trying process, to change it 3 times a day. :D

    • @TimLerchGuitar
      @TimLerchGuitar  Год назад

      wow good eye, you noticed ! it had the plain G bridge on when i got it but right before my first performance I changed to a wound G and havent yet gotten around to changing the bridge. Its actually pretty close to being in tune so it's not too much of a proble, I'll change it next time i change strings. i guess.

    • @Alexander-11.11.
      @Alexander-11.11. Год назад

      yes, i did. :) i´m pretty picky in intonation, perhaps the first bridge-nerd you learned to know. :D
      i listendend carefully when i saw the brigde typ and i think, it´s slightly audible in chords on the higher frets. you will love your wonderfull new guitar even more, with the right bridge. i think, the vibe often improves in general, with spot on intonation. @@TimLerchGuitar

    Acoustically, no surprises. Through the amp, it sounds almost brittle. Just a touch too much high-end. Perhaps you might want to round down the tone knob a touch. Otherwise, it looks to be a superlative instrument. Enjoy, Tim!!
