atquinn Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Impressive. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these!-Austin
zorrow Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Awesome! Thanks!BTW, I forgot what's the effect of a chambered body to the tone. Anyone explain me, please?
specialk Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 BTW, I forgot what's the effect of a chambered body to the tone. Anyone explain me, please?From Jol's blog:"For this guitar, a gently curved shape is used, which helps the guitar's lower frequencies. Once again, it is a combination of finding the right amount of resonance and taking vibrating mass out of the guitar. The result was a much more mid-range sound that suited the humbuckers for our purpose. The overall timbre of the guitar is not as dark as a solid instrument either."
hamerhead Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 The overall timbre of the guitar is not as dark as a solid instrument either." I always thought solid = bright. Interesting......
HamerHokie Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 The overall timbre of the guitar is not as dark as a solid instrument either." I always thought solid = bright. Interesting......In my experience, solid sans maple cap is dark. All of my guitars are chambered and the effect it has on the midrange is pronounced. Each sounds 'bigger' and more resonant. The ones with a maple cap have a nice high end spank as well.
