G Man Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I am digging the 7/8 D28. What is the scale length? And does it have as full a sound as a full size dread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It's a 23"scale. It's not as boomy as a full size D-28, but the tone is way more balanced with more mids. It's still on layaway, so I don't have new Strings on it yet. This is the impression I got with the strings that were on the guitar when I played it. I've read that even though it has the Dred body, because it's scaled down, it's closer sounding to a OO Martin body. I'll report back once I get it out and get some new strings on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very fortunate in that my job is relatively recession-resistant My job has ramped up considerably, right now I'm 24 hours on, 24 off, due not only to the virus, but to recent unfilled openings and a (non job related) coworkers death. Gear wise, after some sell offs I'm at an all time low inventory; I'm currently gigging (well, I was gigging) my Kiesel HH2 and my MJT/Warmoth partscaster, I am completely knocked out by both of them. A few amps, couple of pedals. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo175 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I went hog wild and bought a new pickup offering from Josh Gravelin- the J2B! This is based off one of the very earliest versions of the JB, purportedly made from a humbucker out of one of Lonnie Mack's busted Flying V's. Josh then did some major research and figured out how to recreate that p'ups sound and mojo. Tone report to follow. The video wouldn't attach & won't open if you don't have FB but if you can check it out, it sounds awesome! https://www.facebook.com/100002613586674/videos/2722230814540678/UzpfSTE1NDk3MTE1MTg6Vks6MTAxNTgzMDQ2NjYzNzEyNjM/?multi_permalinks=10158304666371263¬if_id=1584998987591890¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you walking up to a bucket of fried chicken and shooting it? Although, come to think of it, if you're talking about something you shoot into your arm, I guess you would have to pay for that.
