SD antiquity P90 in the neck. Lollar mid. SD stacked pickup in the bridge. This thing is just a carnival of tone. Used a push pull on the volume to give an always-on bridge, when more telecaster-ness with the neck and bridge is desired.

Listen to your customers. Their ideas reflect their excitement and passion for their music. Never would have though of this combo, but it’s really great.

These guitars are both owned by the same customer.

He is also starting to play around with home recording. I think that is great and really healthy for a musician on any instrument. Forget what pro stuff sounds like, get your ideas captured, and play with your music.

Please, hold your applause. And then play it.

Ovation’s guitars are a mystery to me. All of my instincts as a wood-phile and traditionalist when it comes to guitar design tell me they should sound hollow. And then you plug it in, and it’s pure heaven.

This one has a beautiful cherry finish. I’m a little wary of string-though bridges. I find they tend to be good job security for those of us who glue them back down when they inevitably pull themselves off. But overall, I have to say that if you like the shape and sound, and if you play mostly standing up with a strap, this is a hidden gem product with excellent value.

These Mastery bridges for Jazzmaster are well made

These Mastery bridges for Jazzmaster are well made, and the best upgrade a person can make to the instrument.

Over 75% of these that cross my bench need a neck shim, to get the break angle over the back of the bridge right.

Players tend to have a look and sound in mind when they consider adding a guitar to their collection. Having a Luthier build one for you means you can bring it to life.
