Dave. Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I used .72s for a good 6 months but I went through them in about a week so I bubped up to the .88s and they last me ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Looks nice - are you going to sort a proper logo for that guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was going to but I doubt I'll bother now. Seems a shame to have to strip off the lacquer, or at least to put more on, if you know what I mean. Perhaps at some point in the future I might do, if I happen to have some amber lacquer lying around. The Tele I just posted in the General thread will be getting a proper logo though, I've got one designed, so when the time comes I'll print a few waterslides. Looks unfinished without.

Bs Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Nah Bs, I find anything less than .88 gets too flimsy for me. I dont have any problems strumming with them either, in fact they seem just right for what I do. Personal preference I guess Cool, well, fair play. I always used to use .81 (not Tortex obviously) but because the Tortex ones are so sturdy generally, .73 works out pretty well. I'll consider changing up to the .88 ones or something in future as it might be better for thicker strings or whatever, but at the moment, I find the .73s pretty good. Oh, also, the 5th picture you posted looks a bit like the kind of damage on my Pacifica, except the dents in mine are much deeper and more concentrated, haha. Poor thing.

Neil. Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 moar photos of the tiesco/hotel guitar! Do you have it tuned to the kills tuning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Tuned to Open A so I can Dan Auerbach. I'll try get some more pictures in the near future. Sexy Lomo effects are optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 open A isn't that far off Hotel's tuning. I have my LP to his tuning so I can The Kills. P90s sounds good turned down through Blowing Up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I can honestly say this is my perfect guitar, everything I want it has. Smooth creamy solo sound with the neck pickup and then huge sledgehammer riffs using the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitt Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 scratchplate art is awesome (especially the stuff on yours!) Thanks! I'll get a close up picture sometime if you want Sad thing though is that I had to use one of those gel pen thingies, and it comes off after some time..

cheddatom Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Nitt - That scratchplate looks ace, and i'm sure you could get some sort of sealer to hold the ink on. Ask in the luthiery thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Whammy on top of the wah? I bet you get some pretty cool sounds from that! I'll try and get some photos of my stuff when the MB-1 arrives anyway. Or I might wait until January when I should have some more stuff anyway.
