that one is not half bad.
Thanks.
I think the point is not whether the guitar is ugly or not from an aesthetic point of view... Your workmanship is looking better...
LOL, I think people are just getting used to me the "power guitar concept" rather than thinking I'm craaaaazy... Or maybe I really have become skilled at flipping it over before the glue cools so that it looks like it was applied so that it might stick better.
One thing for sure, the chisels work a lot better for hogging out a guitar body than that double circular-saw thing I once used
. What a dangerous POS that was. I still use an angle grinder but that's just to cut in shapes.
One thing that seems "about time" happened to me though is my electric playing has finally gained a sense of "tone". That's mostly cause these keep me
playing electric w/o grabbing a wire-free acoustic that's also next to me. 6 months ago I was only beginning to like the Vox DA-5 better than the Line 6 MC and Roland MCs. These days, the Vox-DA-5 is an amazing thing and the Line-6 seems just a tone for beginners. I'm really
hating the hiss of my Pod 6 lately too. I may go for something like a Tonelab someday. Meanwhile I hardly play the Line-6 based power guitars any more - because the Schector/vox kicks their ass on tone. And this Honeytone/Ministar has better tone via the wireless mic into my rig than a plain guitar through the Pod-6. Ouch to Line 6, I just called them "beginner's tone" --- am I even close to right on that according to people here???
I'm considering re-making the Alverez yet again too - its just sooo heavy with that 6x9 in it and gets too much RF noise back to the PUPs. Humbuckers help that situation a lot (RF amp noise getting to the pups, limits high-gain). And that actually drove staying small with the Honeytone in this project. My Laguna-L6 plays good / noise-free but I like having the amp-controls below the strings. So that Alverez-L6 looks like a soon re-make (hmmm a vox in it? idk that's cost$).
I noticed my transmitter-mics must be a high-impedance type (non-energized) as compared to the dynamc mics. I was thinking I'd replace my Alverez mic setup too - thought I may need to keep the dynamic mic device, hmmmm prolly just a diaphragm in it could be removed/built into the goose-neck.
Edit+: Well I just grabbed the Lagua/L6 and am remided how nice those 5 preset-tones are, especially on that guitar where I'm not getting that RF noise limiting its high gain. So IDK why I've been favoring the Vox'es. The Pod-6 though does hiss at me.
