Hamer Dave Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Figure you might like this... I video'd this just after receiving. I had to wait a bit longer for mine, but damn worth it. I love Mike!I've an opening of box video as well, may add later. Need to do a 'plugged' as well. Hadn't done a video for some time, so I goofed on some settings. Sorry. Enjoy!davehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlnfsLwfPyU
Sugartune Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Wow! Sounds great unplugged and backwards!
cmatthes Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Whoah! Some neat surprises in there! I'll watch it in a mirror later on tonight...
BubbaVO Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Very sharp. I like those little custom touches on your guitar.
Hamer Dave Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Thank you everyone. I deserve the raz' on the horizontal flip. Didn't know wtf I was doing. Lol! Well worth the extra wait getting this. Mike is king!
atomicwash Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Video intro. Now that is service. Thanks Dave!
gorch Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Great to watch! Cool idea with the middle pickup.
polara Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Very cool! Yes, some surprises there. Mine seems so straightforward by comparison
Bennyboy-UK Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Aaaah, thats mega! Love that with the single coil in there!
JGravelin Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 So cool to see this one finally make its appearance! That burst and overall look really stands out and demands that your eyes tune in - love it!!By the way, that's an Alnico 5/2 in the middle position, done up late-50s F style with a bit more hair on it. We were shooting for a milky lactoid cover, but I couldn't find one that matched and the slight color difference made it look kinda goofy so I went with black. When I find the 'right' color that matches with the rest, I'll send it asap.Rock it up!
velorush Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Perfectamundo! Thought it was going to go a little "Count Floyd" there at the start!
mrjamiam Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I didn't know you could go off the reservation like that and add a single-coil! One of a kind! Congrats.
The Shark Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I'd love to see it with the single coil cover Josh describes. Great video.
cynic Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Very nice...had I seen it I'd have guessed it was on it's way to pesocaster.
humfree Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Will it ever get plugged in or is this a Spinal Tap episode? Sorry, couldn't resist
velorush Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 No kidding: the first Ultimate in the Registry to nearly require two lines to describe all of the options... Diva!
Hamer Dave Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Hamerhead, I'm in Illinois. Hertzsogud, the single is splendid. It definitely exudes single coil seasoning, and clears things up nicely when you want to. Though, only drove it through a smaller amp so far. Mrjamiam, I didn't get the 24 frets I would have liked. Then again, that would have been a tight squeeze with 3 pups. Steve sparked my 'single' concept. I suppose a spin on his, and the fact I appreciate the versatility. It's actually a pretty simple ckt. Humfree, I see the similarity now. Lol! I did get to trial it through a smaller Peavey amp yesterday with nice result. Velorush, but I don't see a mention of the 'MASSIVE' neck. It is WIDE, and THICK! Practically, a bat. I'm kind of a tall guy. Based it off this ridiculous old Dean V I have (no vee profile).
velorush Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Velorush, but I don't see a mention of the 'MASSIVE' neck. It is WIDE, and THICK! Practically, a bat. I'm kind of a tall guy. Based it off this ridiculous old Dean V I have (no vee profile). Didn't catch that in the video (there were a few other details...). Updated. I plan on measuring mine soon. It is easily the largest neck in the house and my Strat is an inch thick nut to body. I can't imagine what this thing measures.
Hamer Dave Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Velorush, I failed to mention the massive neck in the video. On a dial caliper, I measure... 1.78" nut width, .98" thick (fingerboard face to back of neck) at first, similar at 12th. Flatter 20" fret board radius.
hamerhead Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hamerhead, I'm in Illinois.Well that explains the backwards. Australians are upside-down.
Hamer Dave Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Here is the first actual vid' I did, opening the box, peanuts, etc. You can see the case, and talk of neck profile, tuning, etc. It captures my initial response when opening the case for the first time. I think we all experience that momentary 'speachless' feeling when seeing these for the first time in person! Ignore the post nasal snorts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi0DWqCfY10&feature=youtu.be
